Good Morning, God,
Lord, what must it feel like to be "fired upon" in one's own home town? Why must people worry about whether or not they are safe in their own front yards? Why must buildings and homes be destroyed after so much effort goes into their construction? Why can't people "just get along"?
There was a quote the other day, Lord, that a lot of what happens is due to the "will of an angry and frustrated people." This is what we have seen this "Arab Spring," with the uprising of folks in several countries. This is what we are currently seeing in Afghanistan. This is at least part of what al-Qaeda is all about. This is what motivates a lot of us around here to take actions that are not always pleasant or within the law: We get frustrated, then angry, then do things we will regret later.
Lord, great changes come when we channel our anger in directions that lead to peaceful resolutions. May we be peaceful in all we do today.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
