God Help Us!

God help us in our country to get focused on you.

Today a little girl's body was found. Having been kidnapped by a drugged up sexual predator, she was murdered by him of his own admission.

At the same time decisions are being made about the life of Terri Schiavo who has had at this time been removed of her life supporting feeding tube. So many questions flood my mind about this. I don't have the answers.

All the while these things are going on, our country is at war in other countries. Men and women are laying their lives on the line for our freedoms and the freedoms of others.

In our community in the Shoals area there have been kids with guns in the school where my children attend. A former doctor has been arrested for forging prescriptions and threatening a family if they told about it. A man was run over and killed by car while riding his bicycle. The person who hit him is still at large. The Shell station just a few blocks away was robbed and the thief was picked up even closer to that near our house.

So today Lord, I cry out to you to help our nation turn to You. You are the only answer to the problems and questions that fill our world. May Your Holy Spirit fill us as Your people so that we might begin today taking very seriously our place in all of this. Lord help us!!

(Psalms 34:17 NCV) "The LORD hears good people when they cry out to him, and he saves them from all their troubles."
