"what's God going to say to my questions? i'm braced for the worst. i'll climb to the lookout tower and scan the horizon. i'll wait to see what God says, how he'll answer my complaint.
and then God answered: "write this. write what you see.
write it out in big block letters so that it can be read on the run.
this vision-message is a witness pointing to what's coming.
it aches for the coming—it can hardly wait!
and it doesn't lie.
if it seems slow in coming, wait.
it's on its way. it will come right on time."
~ habakkuk 2:1-3, the message
oh God of all that was and is and is to come...
i have faith that You know every part of our world.
Lover of all that is good and Hater of all that is evil...
i pray that you would change our hearts to love like You do.
teach us to hate injustice, to hate prejudice, to hate inequality - to hate what You hate.
Parent to the orphan, Healer to the sick, Comfort to the lonely...
care for those suffering from the devastation in japan.
give them food, shelter, clothing, medical care.
give them support - financial, physical, emotional.
bring the people of the world together to bless this hurting nation.
selah.
(pause, and listen...)
