When our Little Ones start stretching, we feel the tightening and the pull; and when that stretching is sooner than expected, or sooner than provisions in hand – we hurt! We really hurt!
So let us pray.
Abba, we love _____ so much but we don’t like this stretching that he/she is doing right now. We don’t like the unkindness of failed responses; the pulling away with a bite instead of a kiss. It feels so wrong and we believe it is. And it’s this way, You either care or You don’t – I believe You do. You either love him/her more than we do, or You don’t – I believe You do. You will either intervene, go after and stay on him/her until they return, or You won’t – I believe You will. So we can either rest our comfort in You, or not – I am. In JESUS name I am. Thank You, Abba. Thank You.
I saw a tweet. I saw a post. And to me both were inflammatory; yet, I think they were not meant to be. We the People are inflamed and we need no more fuel for the fire. Racism. It sells. It promotes. It hurts. It kills. And it is totally curable.
Abba, I pray for every person of every color and shade in this Country that is contributing to racism that You will confront them, convict them, and convince them to repent of this sin. It seems to me, and You know I want You to correct me every time I am wrong about anything, that racism has been with us too long. And it seems to me that what we humans have been doing is obviously not working to cool the flame. I see nothing on the human horizon that will douse the red hot tempers we witness nearly daily on media screens. But I have seen Your Ways and they work. Every time. You deliver people from racism. I have seen You do it. And it is so good! I want to see more. So I am asking You to make a way; open doors for us to do this thing Your way. This I know, Abba, You are the only way to heal a soul and cure them of racism and that is what I am asking You to do; one by one get all up in our mess, our business, our families, and our friends and heal us I pray in JESUS’ Holy and Mighty Name.
Can we agree MUCH is hurtful, unfair, and just flat-out wrong in people; even the people we love?
I want to see transformations. I want to see forgiveness given and received. I want to see families healed and made whole. I want to see marriages lived in holiness – it’s the only way to be happy in them. I want babies (inside and outside the womb) and adults to be loved and valued for who they are – created in the image of GOD. I want people to speak the truth even when it hurts. I want people to hear what was spoken not what they feel was spoken. I want people to know there are absolutes and those absolutes are for our security and well-being. I want people to know no man, woman or child is an island. EVERYTHING we do affects/effects someone else and rarely is it only ONE somebody else; eventually it’s all of us. Have you heard of theButterfly Affect?
So, I am praying: Abba, I want to help. So I am asking You to make the changes in me that You can use to help others so we can all be transformed to people who live to please You and not ourselves.
I dare say we all have people in our lives who we want THEM to change! It has been my experience and I am confident the Bible bears it out: the change we want in others begins with a change in US!
We are glad you are here; stay a while, look around, and be encouraged. We estimate there to be over 3,000 posts here at The White Stone Blog. Please know my hope is ALWAYS to help and NEVER harm. I have voiced many opinions and thoughts here since 2007 and by now I MAY NOT EVEN AGREE with all of them and some of my grammar and punctuation likely needs editing. But this is changeless: JESUS is our ONLY Savior and Hope. Do you KNOW Him?
