Papa, I am thinking this
The reason the terms white privilege and police brutality are all over the media now is because the word racism no longer sufficiently whips up enough violence. White privilege and police brutality are now the hot buttons to stir hatred, and the agenda of the political machine. I think this continuous stream of hot button words are additionally used hoping to cower millions of people into shame and guilt for acts they did not commit nor for which they can atone or erase. I think brutality exists both within and beyond the organizations of law enforcement. I think corruption is abounding and I am afraid for this Nation.
if You know this is not true, please correct me and show me what is true. If any of this thinking is founded in truth I am asking You to intervene on our behalf. I know we as a people do not deserve Your mercy or grace but I am asking please grace us with Your intervention and with conviction and repentance I pray.

Looking for Rain
Abba, I am grateful that You know and have invited me to come and talk. The seas we are compelled to navigate these days are treacherous and I cannot do it without You. I am grateful for the wisdom You have given me and I desire to use it to help others and I am certain that I need much more and I ask You to grant me more as You see fit. I am troubled this morning. I am troubled for babies, toddlers and children in particular. There is a war for their souls; and parents, more often than not, are nonchalant about it or blind altogether; please help. Please rescue the parents and the children. The war in particular that is burdening me today is sexual and the all out yet subtle attack of the world to enslave children and adults in homosexual and heterosexual sin in the name of ‘love’. I am sorry, Abba. Please forgive us and have mercy on us. Please send revival and an outpouring of conviction and repentance on us. Please open blinded eyes and deceived hearts for Your glory and our redemption I pray.
Praying for Mentors
I have been reading Prayers of Blessing Over Your Husband by Bruce Wilkinson and Heather Hair. I believe many of the prayers are applicable to others we love. May I offer you one (modified) today from the book for your spouse, for your children, for your grandchildren? Just call them by name and pray.
Gracious Lord, please surround my (_________ ) with mentors who will guide (him/her) in the ways of wisdom, right living, kindness, commitment, and a deep love for You and for this family. I pray that You bless (him/her) with like interests with these mentors and provide them with learning experiences that they can share together, as well as occasions of fun and fellowship. Help me to be willing to share emotions and time so he/she can develop and sustain relationships with these, and I pray that the richness of these relationships will overflow into our family and our home, In Christ’s name, amen.
