Here’s what’s on my work desk this morning. Markers, rubber stamps, paints and paper to collage.
“You do not know what you are asking!”
Matthew 20:22
God Almighty Father, we plead with You about our country. Have mercy on us, Lord. Our leaders are wasting our money, our resources. They do not care about our people, Lord. They remove a big chunk of the budget for education and health and put a huge amount of resources into the confidential and intelligence funds of the President. They announce a narco-list without any evidence and expect those listed to provide proof of innocence! They get into contracts that put the future of our children in peril.
O Lord, please hear our prayers and save us! Have mercy on us, O Lord! Do we not know what we are asking? Are we asking for too much, are we asking too late? The mother of the sons of Zebedee approached You and asked that You let her sons sit at Your side in the Kingdom. She did not know what she was asking for. You asked if they could drink the chalice You were going to drink.
What chalice do we need to drink, Lord, for You to save us from ignorance, blindness, greed, sycophancy and selfishness? Please take this cup away, O Lord! It’s just too disheartening and sad.
Teach us what to do O Lord! Is it sackcloth and ashes?
Blessings!
Patsy
