Hello Lord, it's me again,
I want to converse...I need You my friend.
My eyes are dim as I search for Your hands,
don't know why I'm empty...I cannot understand?
Winds stir controversies throughout the country,
the road is full of adversity, evils, wars, and bribery,
causing confusions, fears, and doubts...
we're treading on violent seas bobbling about.
It's hard to know who's a deceiver and who's not,
the world is of many ethnic backgrounds...a massive lot.
Who do we trust as we travel through these vast lands,
a deal once was sealed by the shake of a hand?
What happened to honesty, trust, morals, good deeds?
Did they get swallowed up by a powerful sea?
I long to see the times of eons ago,
where people agreed and travel the globe.
There's killings in our streets and robberies by gangs,
we need freedom and peace from all of our pains.
The roads we travel are full of immorality and shame,
we ask for Your help in Your precious name.
We're a race placed upon this magnificent homeland,
to live and enjoy all things You gave to every man.
It once was free of greed, bitterness, and wrongs,
we've worked to create a Country proud and strong.
We've gone awry on these roadways we've tread,
making life miserable, fearful, and a dread.
Lord, awaken the hearts and souls of all mankind,
grant us a chance to mend the wrongs we've intertwind.
Lift up the people of the world to see Your light,
allow us to get back to the basics of an ethical life.
Lead the way as we follow Your pathway,
help us never to fall short and to go astray.
This is a keeper! Its a wonderful prayer and emphasizes all the malignant problems of our world today that offer reason why we should all find time to pray. Excellent write.
Barbara this prayer is so stunningly heartfelt and painfully true. Perhaps you are more right than you can imagine and devine intervention is what is needed....

Well said Barbara and all too true in the world we live in today. As I read this, I am preparing to take my wife to the hospital for surgery in an attempt to diagnose a debilitating disease of unknown origin at this time. As she is uninsured, both the hospital and the surgeon insisted on being pre-paid for their services. Even in a small mountain community that supposedly lives by the motto "LIVE FREE OR DIE," greed has taken priority over life. The alternative? There is none. Life is too precious. I join you in praying for a better way. God bless.
Enjoyed the write Barbara, but the premise that this place, the U.S. was ever "free of greed, bitterness, and wrongs" eludes me. We like every nation were founded on blood, through war. The Indian war, the land barons, the railraoads, the mining industry etc..etc...Entire cultures were destroyed to birth our nation. Notwithstanding our bloody orgins, all here now have a choice...we are free to make our own decisions and that is what makes this country great.
Our world has grown so sick dear Barbara. Our minds and hearts were feeling similar pain this weekend I see. I love your prayer my friend and appreciate your craft deeply.
Life and humanity have repeated the same paths for as long as we can remember...God left us a choice and as we look around the globe...they are made and we pay the consequences...
I like how you brought up the questions and the comparisons in conversation with God...makes for a nice read ...

Did they get swallowed up by a powerful sea?
I think they somehow got swallowed up by our very self centered and extremely greedy modern age. And God help us all.

Much love,
