Dear God,

So many horrible things are happening around our world, so much that need not happen.  Starving people, injustices of all kinds, people being robbed of their homes, livelihood and power.  Authoritarian leaders are doing horrendous things.  I do not understand.  Why, O Lord, why?  It is as if Satan has been given reign over the earth.

How do we help people in trouble?  How do we have and give hope?  How do we find the light and be the light?  How can we make a difference to change lives and help transform situations, conditions and policies?  I want to be a change maker, dear God.  I want to assist in your transformative work.  I want to promote good over evil.  How do we do this?  How do we do this?

You are power.

You are good.

You are mercy.

You are light.

You are hope.

You are love.

How can

we become

all these things,

Compassionate God?

Love, Andrea
