Prayer Request

Though I have faith, I need you also - all my brothers and sisters in Christ. There are times when out of the blue I feel such heaviness for those who long to be free of pain, free of worry, free of stress, free from domestic violence, free from hunger ... I could go on and on and on. When I look around me I see a beautiful creation that could only be created by the one true, living God. Then I see so much hurt in the faces of people, so many who have been tricked by Satan into thinking time will go on - just keep having fun. It totally breaks my heart to see how so many have been deceived by the devil - drugs are taking our young away by the thousands daily, children are being neglected and abused at a rate I've never seen in my life, instead of hunting season it appears man no longer enjoys hunting for food but rather seeing our innocent children as prey as if it were a sport. Just listen to the news or read the paper, you'll know this is true. My God, how long can a nation of people such as we are last much longer. Sodom and Gomorrah went down because of their vile acts and the word of God tells us, without hesitation, it will be worse than Sodom and Gomorrah. I can't begin to imagine what it will be like. I'm not all that nor am I better than the next person. I simply have a heart that feels as if every day it's being torn apart by the deceptive one.

My prayer request is simply this: that God would heal my mind and my heart that I will obey His word and give Him the glory, honor and praise He deserves. I want that same spirit that covered Mary, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Paul, Stephen - I want God to find favor in me for whatever task he has planned for me. Though I may fall short at times, I know his grace is sufficient to help me back on my feet and continue walking in the light!

I'm so torn up and honestly don't know where to start. My heart has been so heavy to the point that I have had to take inventory of just who I am and what I'm made of. Getting directly to the point, I'm upset at our judicial system and am losing faith rather expediently. I know in my heart America, at one time, was a great country but I cannot honestly uphold that belief any longer. As I said, getting directly to the point, I realize I have the ability to hate and I can feel it is destroying me physically, mentally, spiritually. I never thought I could truly hate, but God has allowed me to see myself for who I really am and it's not a pretty picture. I should be praying for Casey Anthony; I find it too hard to do so and instead end up spewing ungodly words and carrying ungodly thoughts inside. I try to justify my actions by telling myself it's only an opinion of mine. Truth is, it's more than an opinion. I allowed myself to be consumed by Caylee Anthony and how she ended up and it has torn me apart. I am admitting my sins before each of you and ask respectfully that you pray for peace of mind for me. Functioning normally seems to have been misplaced regarding myself - seems I've questioned God, questioned our laws, questioned people, and yes, questioned myself. My faith in all that is right before God seems to be fading fast. Pray diligently that God renews my mind and give me a clean heart and also that I will, as I've always done prior to this, take everything to Him in prayer and believe He alone knows all things, feels all things, sees all things, hear all things. I am pouring what little bit of a heart I have left out to all prayer warriors asking that you pray for me. I don't ever want to hate and it saddens me to see myself as I truly am at this moment. Thank you all.
