Dear God,

Why do some people have murderous hearts? Why do individuals take the lives of others? Why do people abuse, rape and pillage the human soul? Why? Why? Why?

Can we change our DNA? Can we make ourselves more truly human? Can we alter the path onto which we were born, the one someone chose for us, not yours? Can we tear unwanted, evil strands of humanity that cause us to be someone you did not intend?

I feel such sadness when I hear of great tragedies, one person destroying another. Bullies whose intent is destruction of the human soul. What has happened to us? How can we dramatically transform ourselves into creation's design of loveliness?

O God,
rid us
of the ability
to be evil,
corrupt, demeaning
and destructive.
Take away
from us
all that
is not you.
Cleanse our hearts,
minds and souls
so that
we may fashion
a deep vessel
of love
waiting to
be filled
by you.
Come, Lord Jesus,
come, I pray.

Love, Andrea
