The nation screams chaos and the violence spews hate. Some say they’re violent in response to hate. Some don’t understand why they’re being violent and loud, except that, for this moment in time, that activity pays well.
People are dying, and the innocent are suffering. My heart screams, “God, make it stop.’
The news reporters photograph the unrest, like unfriendly, un-yellow, unsmiling minions jumping with glee at distrust, dishonesty, and dangers. Who will win the Pulitzer for dangerous reporting this year?
Somewhere in the middle is a father whose children may see him destroying property with no purpose, defending dishonesty for money.
There’s a mother who is frustrated and hopeless. Somehow the screaming at the unknown seems like nothing new in her soul, only this time others hear her. And the babies’ cries go unheard, again.
Why should we pray for people who appear more violent than ravenous wolves, lashing out like a bear in a trap?
Why should we ask the Father to help them come to a mind full of peace and understanding that behaviors like this won’t change anything?
Because the One who created them and loves them still calls them “Precious fruit”. And we can do no less.
They are currently overrun by forces that use them to promote their own agenda, caring nothing about the damage they leave behind. How is that possible? Because they’ve never experienced the grace and love of a Father Who cannot stop loving them.
Love them, too. Even if it’s from a distance. Pray for them, each of them, like a mother or a sister would. Set them free from the anarchy by the power of Love.
For His Glory 
This post is so on point Sherry! God loves us all and Love is something everyone needs more of right now!
