Considering the Turmoil and Unrest of these Present Times, especially under the direction of our Present Leader... Days of Great Tribulations are still upon us…but, Hallelujah for a Greater God!!! Pressing-on, Amen THE DREAM 2.....GO HERE>>>>>>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAIn80L5lhM

When...? Oh, God…when? Unto You …the strength and sustainer of our lives... we come Knowing all power in heaven and earth is found in Thee alone… our Almighty One. It is with this in mind …we humbly approach and state... our inquiry Trusting and believing that our question’s true intent You understandably…see. This is not a wild complaint, Lord…laced with a bold refute No Lord…but, burdened down we turn, imploring… to Thee… our only refuge. Bearing anguish of wilted equality we stand …in our great nation’s …wings Our forefather’s blood ignored…forgotten is the shine of their heroic rings. With tears and heavy hearts, we bear this hour’s weight and grief Thus, we turn to Redeemer, reaching for what only You can give ...relief. The corrosive arm of racism, unashamed, reaches out for us… from the hill So clear, is the fact…that it can only be defeated by Your… thrustful will. We Love and need You…leaning hard, as we rise daily to face this prevailing task Yet, pining the deliverance that’s sure to come, we yearn… and do ask... When...? Oh, Lord…when?

It will come when we act. Indecision and failure to confront wrong for fear of retribution is what holds back progress when it is needed most. In this country we have the right to vote that was long fought for by our forefathers. Now is the time not to shirk, but to go to the polls and vote for what is right, not what is rumored. We all know what right and wrong is. All we have to do is act upon it, and that little ballerina's tears will be traded for a smile.

A reasonable question from us poor humans when seeking support from the Divine, especially during trying times.
