“Father, I am weary of all that is wrong with the world – murder of the innocents, a smeared and wrecked creation, tyrant-oppressed poor, hunger-withered children, exploited women, forgotten elderly, invisible
homeless. I long to see that all these enemies – yours and mine – will be, once for all, condemned, and all things crooked made straight. Set me to making a way for your justice with renewed vigour. In Jesus our Deliverer’s name we pray, amen.
Seeking God’s Face, prayers for Advent, Day 9.
For ravaged lives and broken hearts – in Connecticut and Calcutta, Regent Park and Ramallah, East Hastings and Ethiopia – come, Lord Jesus, come.

The strongest Amen to your wise words. I have been overwhelmed and rather upset at the lack of moral integrity and the weak leadership accompanying any possible reasonable alternatives to the state of our world. May God have mercy upon us.
