During the past few weeks, the media has been riddled with reports of children dying. Some discarded like yesterday’s trash, some hit by stray bullets and others murdered in cold blood in retaliation for God knows what. Whatever the crime, whatever the reason, where is the conscience? Where is the respect for human life? What has led these individuals to believe that their actions are the only answer, the only way out? I am at a loss for words but I know we need prayers – prayers for peace, prayers for these little angelic souls, prayers for conversion! Here’s a prayer I found which I pray often and wanted to share – please join me:
The Shepherd’s Servant
My Lord, my soul yearns for the Word and the truth it brings, but my heart sorrows for my brothers and sisters who cannot feel this passion. Their worldly ways has taken their spirit and like a small child they need guidance and protection. As the Shepherd eyes his flock, so will I pray and give counsel to his creation. Let my strength and endurance be steadfast and be seen as a shining light that helps lead the way back to goodness and make pure again your loved ones that have strayed. AMEN!
