Good Morning, God
Lord, as you know of "domino effects", what do you see for the middle Eastern countries? Now that the Egyptian peoples' revolution has taken place successfully, will this embolden citizens of other countries to begin the same thing?
Already we see protesters in Iran; but the thought there is to maintain the very strong governmental controls and just execute the protest leaders. Already we hear of protesters in Bahrain and Yemen being harmed. Already we hear of the possibilities of other countries "being next". The thing is, Lord, in other countries religious power goes along with the political power. And, when both religion and politics are shaken to the foundations, our human psyches have a difficult time coping. So we resort to the strength of who has the most weapons., who has the most uniforms, who has the laws and dictatorial powers on their side - and uses them. Lord, you know what is going to happen. May any transitions happen peacefully and without needless bloodshed.
In Jesus name, Amen
