To My King

Jesus,

I am so confused nowadays. There are so many voices. So many opinions. So many 'this' or 'that' or 'you would do this' or 'you should do that's...

People claiming that if I am a follower of you, I shouldn't vote that way or shouldn't vote this way or BLAH BLAH BLAH! I JUST WANT TO TELL PEOPLE TO SHUT UP (I know that's not right, Father. UGH)

It's so loud. It's so annoying. And I am tired. I almost don't want an opinion. I don't know what is right when it comes to this state of my country. I am sad, hurt, confused, angry and fatigued. Please, remind me of your truths and despite what is going on right now, help it not distract me from your call and your voice.

Jesus, I am glad you are my friend. You bring me such comfort and peace on night's like this. I don't feel alone and I know you hear me. I may not "feel" you at times, but your Word reassures me that you are here. That's comforting to me.

What's also comforting is that you are here through your servants. That the Holy Spirit is in control and His Light is still strong even in this dark world. I know that you have given your Spirit to those who've chosen to follow you. This includes  your followers who are in politics, healthcare, military, social work...everywhere.

You are here with us and You know exactly what is going on.

Jesus, please give me faith when I am scared. Give me faith when I feel like the world is caving in. Help me to fight the evil that is apparent in this world. Help me to not lose my heart of flesh and to not let my heart grow cold. Help me to continue to just Love people.

Jesus, lastly, please help those who are hurting and calling others names and hating and killing all because they think it's the "RIGHT" thing to do. Jesus, forgive them and forgive me. For we do not know what we do.

In your name,

Amen
