Thank You, Abba, for food, music, laughter and friends all in one evening. Thank You for manual labor and a sense of accomplishment; for flowers and breezes and wind chimes. You made a lovely world for us to inhabit. Thank You for Your Word that is more update that tomorrow’s breaking news. And as this evening is waning and not much media has reached my ears it’s been refreshing. Thank You that You never sleep and You are always present, always with us.

Heroes (8)
Abba, I am learning more and more that America has had many heroes in her distant and some not so distant past. That reading and learning or maybe some re-learning, has brought me here today to ask You to again raise up Statesmen who will stand uncompromisingly to defend and preserve the Founding Documents and Liberties that I am confident You inspired for Your Glory and the proclamation of the Gospel of Your Dear Son. I am in awe of Your mercy; we have so corrupted Your world and yet You love us and continue to call us to Yourself.
I thank You that You have through honorable people preserved not only Your Word for us but historical events through various documents and media, victories and even defeats that we may learn. Thank You for honest historians, please let not that calling die. Please ensure the safe keeping of truth for all generations to come.
I am rightly alarmed I think with the state of the world and particularly with this Land. Sometimes I am flabbergasted at the raw ignorance of simple human decency and then I am reminded that man without You is depraved. But with You all things become new. You make life worth living; You bring peace and purpose; You bring wisdom and will to make good choices and wise decisions. You just flat-out make life livable with laughing out loud fun and then when hard and bitter things happen You make it bearable; You even redeem it and help others with it when we trust You with it. All this I know because I have seen You do this for me and many others. So I am praying now for this redemption message to be lived out and spoken out and for others to come to know You and love You. Educate us and raise up heroes in this time for Jesus Name Sake I pray.
Digital Heroin (7)
Abba, it was an alarming read but I am alerted and better informed now. I don’t want the information to go to waste with me. Will You aid its distribution and may it be that parents and grandparents will heed any warnings You give them in the reading of it. I would that children be set free of these addictions; not only children but adults too. It would be so good, I think, for parents and children to be drawn into face to face personal time together, bonding their souls and hearts in a wholesome way rather than a generation of people be lost in digital fantasy worlds.
I just know that You have plans, good ones, for people in these last days when the souls of men are growing seemingly darker. I pray for the Light of Your Gospel to burgeon in these days and times. Will You kindle the embers of love for Your Word and interest in the hearts of the young and the old? Would you capture the hearts of people to want more than fantasy, but real, honest relationships with each other but first and foremost with You? Thank You for every enlightenment that You bring and I pray I will be faithful with each piece to do just as You will for Jesus Name sake.
