Does it make me old that I'm already experiencing that, "Lord, why don't you just come already?!" feeling at times? I had one of these moments the other day as I sat watching TV...well flipping through the channels one by one trying to fill the 10 minutes before a show came on I actually wanted to watch.
In a span of about 20 channels I saw the following; an inappropriate music video discrediting everything love truly is, a pregnant teen refusing to raise her baby, a news story on the corruption of high ranking bank officials, the massive civil wars going on over seas, the political campaign news for the 2012 election, adulterous sex, pre-marital sex, trial news on Sandusky's case, a murder story about a teenage girl killing her boyfriend, commercials for the coming Real World on MTV (worthless) and Chicago White Sox game (just kidding on that one).
Honestly I saw all those things and probably forgot a few in those mere minutes of channel surfing. Some were news stories, others commercials and others just regular tv shows. It's amazing how far from our intended purpose we as a human race have strayed from our Creator's hands. We are on a simply path to destruction and can't see it until we put away our iphones or ipads, stop chasing the dollars and begin to be a parent to the children we chose to have!
Lord,
We've gone so far from your designed plan. I'm afraid to admit it, but I've faultered and failed you in the same way the world has. I have strayed from your law for the simple and temporary fixes and highs of this life in various forms. Remind me once again that I am not of this world, for this world is not as you designed it to be anymore. Lord, give me the chances to show my faith and my love for you, and my respect for your calling upon my life. I'm not worthy to be anything of use, but if I can be of any assistance to this dark world use me. I'm nothing but a puddle of sin, but do what you may with it.
Lord, I pray for my community, my country and my world. It has lost all sight of You and your calling upon it. Be with all who are struggling, hurting or wandering farther from you. Put someone or something back into their life in hopes of coming back to you!
I ask all these things in your heavenly name, Amen.
*On a sidenote I pray all had an amazing Father's Day and you told your fathers how much you love them!
