Father, I am at a point where I “grieve and lament over the detestable things that are done” in my country. Part of the problem is that people have been led astray by those who know better, and who should be teaching others what is right.
Part of the problem is that those who know, stick their heads in the sand in denial or so they will not be uncomfortable. And part of the problem is that those who don’t know are not even searching for the truth.
I believe there will come a time when You will respond with judgment.
In Ezekiel’s vision You had all the people who grieved and lamented over the ungodly and detestable things done, marked. And then You sent “a man clothed in linen” through the city, killing anyone without the mark.
Father, take my head out of the sand!
Show me what I need to know and how to fight against things that are detestable to You. Don’t let me live just for the sake of being “comfortable.”
If I am being led astray in any area of my life, get my attention and show me how to get back on the path You want me on. Keep me on a diet of solid spiritual food, so I can be nourished by Your Word daily.
Grow me to maturity in You. If I am to teach, show me who and how. Do not let me call evil good; or good, evil. But strengthen me to speak up for right. Even in a society that has its values upside down.
Father, You also say to “make known among the nations what You have done.” So help me know how to speak to unbelievers in a way that reaches them with Your truth.
Lord, I glory in Your Name. I look to You. I seek Your face, Your strength, Your blessing, always. Amen

Amen! Lord God take the books that have been written that honor and glorify you and put them in the hands of people who’s eyes and ears You will open to hear your Good News and turn their lives around.
Embolden us to speak into the lives of people You place around us, if not by words then by example. Help us live and love like Jesus, right where we are. And to the extent that we will honor you, expand our reach.
