Dear God,

Where do we go when we don't know where to go?  Life is difficult right now in our country and the world.  As a nation who chose Donald Trump as president, we bear responsibility for the unrest, hatred and chaos.  Although I did not vote for him, I carry the burden as an American for those being hurt, frightened and threatened.  But I don't know how to help.

I realize when I don't know what to do, I must fall back on what I do know.  I do know you are a loving God, one who loves all, not just some.  I do know your truth sets people free.  I do know you want to bring peace to all.  All this leads me to you, who knows more than I know, loves more than I am capable and is wiser than I am.  I draw close to you not so much for concrete answers (although that is ultimately what I want) but rather for direction, compassion and assistance.  I know you are always to be trusted.

Oh Lord, as I come, warm my own heart, give me a love for all and show me the way to the hurting, the suffering and the needy.  Lead me to resistance to all that is evil, to your guiding spirit for your leading power and to your will and way as my orders for daily living.  Help me be a peacemaker, a light bearer and a helpmate.  

You are God;

I am not.

Lead me

to broken places

where I

can make

a difference.

Heal our world,

I pray.

Yours, Andrea
