Dear God,

What is the root of bitterness and hatred, O Lord?  What is it about this darkness that erupts in cruel and evil ways?  Why is there so much in our world today, particularly in America?

I find myself angry, resentful and bitter about our president who stirs up chaos and conflict.  He seems to enjoy creating a nation of divided people.  And we fall in line.  I confess I despise the man.  I hate his ways of hurting, threatening and abusing people at every level of society.  I thought presidents were to aid a country in healing, helping and understanding and yet, this president does just the opposite.  What are we to think, Almighty God?  How are we to behave? 

We need your help, Gracious Redeemer.  I need your help.

Blessed are you,
God Almighty.
You are God
of compassion,
mercy and kindness.
Break our hearts
of stone.
Lead us
to the light
of faith,
I pray.

Love, Andrea
