Heavenly Father, this world is a mess. I am a mess. Anger, jealousy, unrepentance, unfaithfulness, unkindness, harshness, judgment, all of the sins... they abound in me and even more-so around me.
The more interconnected our world has gotten, the more disconnected from you we have become. But I sense a revival. We have seen peeks and snippets in various locations, but I beg you Lord, with all of my soul, make beauty from these ashes.
It seems that the world is burning down around us. There is bad news at every turn and no shortage of ashes. Redeem all of this pain, hurt, evil, and sin for your glory and for the good of those who love you. Help us to work one another up to love and good works rather than anger and malice.
Protect our children from the sinful influences that are lurking behind every corner to destroy and twist their minds. Give us courage as we face an uncertain and intimidating future. And may the power of your love, joy, and holiness wash across this land, Father.
May our children, who are hurt, confused, suffering, and trapped in chaos be redeemed, restored, and rescued from the lure and lies of this world.
May our loves ones be saved, not just in eternity, but for your good purposes while right here on earth.
May you restore the broken, uplift the downtrodden, and give hope to us in our hopelessness. Father, please make it on earth as it is in heaven. In the name of Jesus I pray, amen.
