my blessings - Perseverance of the Lord's Prayer
When I'm left speechless, I have this gift from Jesus that keeps on giving.
Our Father who are in heaven......I need someone bigger than the most powerful country in the world, who is above all, knows all, and can bring justice to all.
Hallowed be your name........all other names are corrupt, the United States of America, the justice system.
Let your kingdom come, let your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven......bring to earth the ethos of love of neighbor, of justice, of mercy.
Give us this day our daily bread....because in weeks like this, our food is tears, where justice is denied to minorities, where men of color are presumed guilty until proven innocent, if they survive to be proven innocent. Without hope in you our souls will starve.
And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.....Forgive us of cynicism, despair, nihilism, self-righteous anger, selfishness, and forgive those who murder out of fear and selfishness, cynicism and nihilism. Because if we don't forgive, who will?
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.......Some of us are tempted to take vengeance, a role that belongs to you. Lead us away from subtracting what little good is left and towards the path that can only be seen with eyes of faith. Align our hearts with yours and not with the accuser.

Hebrews 11: 13 All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance, admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth. 14 People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. 15 If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. 16 Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.
