Good Morning, God
Lord, why are people so inhumane and inhuman to other people? Lord, don’t you see from heaven the torturing that goes on in many places around the world, but particularly as it has been lately in Syria? Reports out of there have 25,000 people detained in a network of 27 detention centers where beatings and electrocutions are common. If we could see these atrocities, we would lose our lunch.
What causes a person or group of people to be so nasty, disrespectful and even murderous, Lord? Is it jealousy? Is it religion? Is it creedal differences? Is it all about trying to wield power while feeling powerless?
Heavenly Father, we pray today for all those who are victims of abuse - abuse at the hands of friends, abuse by supposed lovers, torture by governmental agents, and even abuse in the name of religion. Change the hearts of the men and women who perpetrate such atrocities and heal the wounds of the victims and victimizers. May we all have justice and love mercy and walk humbly with you and each other.
In Jesus’ name, Amen
