Good Morning, God
Lord, we look around us at the headlines from around the world. What we see is incredible unrest, with the populace in revolt, governments in a defensive posture, and leaders being run out of office. We look at our own country and, even though there are very serious issues to be dealt with, we aren't rioting in the streets with automatic weapons, rocket powered grenades and random but intentional killings. Lord, what are the differences between the relatively peaceful places and the seriously conflicted countries?
Number one has to be, Lord, that this country was founded on your principals, primarily respecting the rights and dignity of each individual. We say it in our documents: We "are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights, among them life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness". We are not a people ruled over; we are a people allowed to over rule. Thank you, Lord, for blessing us with the ability to establish justice, freedom and peace - peacefully.
In Jesus name, Amen
