And On My Knees I Fall......

Verily I say to you, we will not end this violence with more violence but on our knees and pray.  This is not a time to point our fingers at a failed society.  The division in this Nation is a distraction from the war at hand.

I do not mean to sound so doomsdayish nor like a blithering fool.  People are running around worried about losing their guns and having them taken away.  I see such disrespect for our President and even from my fellow Christians going as far as calling him a dictator.  Our President is trying his best with what limitations he has to address the fears and concerns of a Nation who has seen too much innocent blood spilled.   

Now is the time to put aside our political fears.  These fears are the distraction that is keeping us divided.  As long as we are divided and bicker we will never be able to protect our families, our loved ones, our children. There will be more shootings in public places and we will look at the situation and wonder what could we have done?

What could we have done to prevent such a mindless, senseless, cold hearted, blood bath?  What could motivate someone to do this?  What signs were there that we missed?

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Eph 6:12

There is evil in this world.  We cannot ignore it.  It exists.  We talk about it in our movies and our tv shows.  The super natural world is something many are curious about or are very aware of.  While yes there are things we can do to help prevent violence and practice gun safety, we need to do more.

We need to get on our knees and PRAY.  We need to pray over our children, over the schools, our government, and our President.  We need to pray over our families and our communities.

I know we may not all agree on how to pray.  I know there is so much bickering and fighting and name calling.  We need to stop and take a moment each day and pray against the evil trying to divide us and attack us where it hurts most, the spilling of innocent blood.

Please,  let's unite and stand together for once.  Families are turning on each other, schools are no longer safe, public places such as theaters and malls are no longer places we can gather without concern.  Let's take back our safety and our peace.  Prayer is a good start and then .... perhaps then everything else can fall into place.

I normally would not get so political in my blog.  However this is something I felt deep in my heart I needed to share and I can only hope it touches others and that they share this too.
