Praying for Relief

Let me be relief, Lord.

Relief to the friend who has lost his or her way. Relief to the heart of a nation needing help, but not finding it from her government - because there are so many voices crying for help. Let me join with others of a similar heart, who know the answer is in the hard work and prayers of the pioneer and native american who together offered help to a peaceful neighbor. Those who know the answer is not in what the government can do for the people, but what each individual in society can offer up to help our nation heal.

Our society needs help. More than I alone can give. Our world needs help, more than I alone can give. Lift my aching soul, and my paltry offering of prayer, my dream of helping... just a little, and make it large. Make it an offering that gains a following, an offering that is imbued with Your energy and power. Make it strong, make it miraculous, make it a wave that will renew, revive, and bless this world. Help those who are hurting so much that they cannot find the energy to pray for others. Give them the healing they so richly deserve, so they may turn and offer you praise, and to pray for our nation, for its healing, and our world, for its healing.

We can't demand so much that there isn't enough to go around. We have to start working smarter, and praying harder.

We must not expect more of our society, but expect society's money to be spent efficiently - spend more doing it correctly and efficiently now, instead of spending more money doing it over again next year.

Dear Lord, make my small offering powerful. Make my friend's prayer powerful. Make it the change we need in this nation. In God We Trust. Make it true, for everyone.
