Too Violent...Too Little...Too Late....but the Day
is not over....
.
If it's not ours, it's not ours...seems to be prevalant....
Two Little Teen age girls shot to death recently on a sunday afternoon stroll... in the Oklahoma countryside...
4 Boy Scouts Killed and 60 or so wounded by storms...
Countless others tramatized by floods and scores of homes wrecked.....
and where are we in this mudpile?....
Just thinking about my prayer life and others who may benefit from my prayers without even knowing who I am... but am I praying for them?...
Is the tragic news just news or do we need to cry out to God on our neighbors behalf....
I am too worried about dinner tonight to call them out before God?
Too Worried about what I am going to wear to Camp Meeting to mention them?
I am too hurried to post something witty or something I think is important to not request prayer for them?.....
Maybe I have become to accustomed to the tragic....the tragedy....the tears that I am no longer moved by my neighbors calamity... and yet I say that they must be born again without me spending time in prayer for them?...
Just some things I am asking myself while some Mothers and Dads a few miles away are asking God why....
God Help Us...

My first thought now when I hear of someone dying is, did they know Jesus? Did anyone tell them about Jesus?

Yes sometimes we forget how our prayers could potentially change a calamity from happening.
Prayer is power.

I pray most every night with my daughter for the Lord to somehow make his presence known in the halls of the pediatric unit at Children's Hospital and that these folks can have an opportunity to experience his Grace.
It is the only thing we can do. Before we say them, we have control over the words, after we say them, they are out of our control and in the hands of an omnipotent and omnicient God.

I have tears in my eyes because I have a precious child that is rebelling against God, oh my heart aches for her and that she somehow finds her way back. She is in God's hand Carpenter.

Good thoughts RevRandy. I definitely get caught up in my day to day life. Thanks for making me think about my own prayer life. I strongly believe that prayer can change things.

I too have a girl that won't come back to the Lord. She saw her brother die from using drugs and still won't live as she knows she should. It's very frustrating when she tells all of her friends and everyone she meets what they need to do to be saved but won't do it herself!! Now her last brother is about to go to Iraq if the Lord doesn't intervene. And he and his family are nearly backslid themselves. It just about kills parents.
