Dear God,

How will the world ever know peace if we do not treat one another as sisters and brothers?  If we look at others as if they are enemies, we will always attempt to conquer and justify.  We will break down our sense of unity and oneness.  What then will we have?

It seems evil is winning, corrupting, destroying and tearing apart.  Why?  Why, Lord?  Every human is yours, created by you in your image.  You called each one into being.  You even named us all...beloved.  How then can beloved strike out with the intent to hurt another?

There are victories

we cannot win

when our intent

is to wound,

hurt and destroy.

We are broken,

flawed in need

of your

recreating power.

Create in us

our desire

to love

rather than hate.

Please, O God, please.

Love, Andrea
