For the past several days I have struggled with what to post. And what's more, I think many of you are finding yourself out of words and in an emotional tangle.
David, whatever his reason for penning these words hundreds of years ago says it best: From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I (Psalm 62:1).
There is a prevaling sensory overload; more is happening than we can process let alone understand. Emotions are raw making even conversations at home guarded or downright difficult.
What to do?
Run to the only one who has it together. Run to the Rock. Pray for the right words, attitude, and response. Remember if we had loved God with all our being and our neighbor or people as we do ourselves, we would not be in this pickle. So though we are in pain and our hearts are grieved, if we do not operate from a place of supernatural love, the situation will continue to get worse.
Pray from your heart, pray the Scriptures and sometimes just sit in silence and let God speak to your spirit.
I pray for all of us. And I pray God will raise up leaders with the fortitude to make the hard choices and do the unpopular tasks in order to achieve meaningful change.
