Another Crossroad
“This is what the Lord says:
“Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said, ‘We will not walk in it.’”
- Jeremiah 6:16 NIV
As I continue to pray for a nation that has lost its first love...
And as I begin to pray for and about the upcoming presidential, congressional and state and local elections...
And as I pray about the racial and political divides that continue to separate our communities, states and nation as a whole…
These thoughts/prayers come to mind:
Choices allow us to love or hate... help us choose love.
Choices allow us to choose right or wrong... help us choose right.
Choices allow us to choose the light or the dark.... help us choose the light.
Choices allow us to choose between good and bad... help us choose good.
Choices allow to choose between good and best... help us choose best.
Choices allow us to choose You, Jesus... help us draw near to You.
O Lord... We give you thanks and praise for allowing us to make our own choices, as selfish and as heartless as we sometimes can be.
O Lord... Help us choose wisely.
O Lord... Help us choose Your paths and Your ways.
O Lord... Help us see as You see, live as You lived, love as You love.
O Lord...As we stand, yet again, at the crossroads as community, as a state, as a nation, help us choose You.
Keep the Faith... Carpe Diem
