Letters to God

Dear God,

pepper-ish:

I pray to You in a humbled and broken heart. The news everywhere, You know it too well. From Egypt to Australia to Bahrain to Libya and New Zealand, I trust that You have divine purposes for allowing the things happening. Whatever it may be, God, I hold on to Your promise of never leaving and never forsaking us.

God, what is happening in New Zealand? Do You hear the trapped man calling for help under the collapsed building? Do You hear the children in Libya praying for peace and for the gun fires to stop? God, You see them all. You know how terrified their hearts are. I humbly ask You to take the fear creeping in their souls. In times like this, let Your light continue to shine from the darkness of hopelessness they are in. Let Your love give them the comfort and assurance that You are in control.

In this chaos, may the people see that all we need is You. Every government may fall, every building may collapse, but You will remain standing, Jesus. Open the eyes of the people to the salvation that only You can bring. 

In this raging storm of anger and pride, I declare peace. I declare freedom. I declare salvation in JESUS’ name!

God, rescue them.

With a hopeful heart,

Ish

Dear God,

All-powerful God, hear Your children as we call out Your name. We need You to rescue us. 

We come before Your presence to pray for our fellows in Libya and New Zealand where Your people is greatly troubled. Merciful God, listen to the cries of Your children. Jesus, come to the hearts of those who are lost. With Your eyes looking down here on earth, You see all what’s happening and You may not like it too. Forgive those people who don’t show mercy to their neighbors. 

Lord, we pray for the rescuers in New Zealand. Guide them all with Your wisdom so that they may find people who are trapped in the collapsed buildings. Give them perseverance, Lord. We pray that they will not lose hope in looking for the trapped people. Bless their hearts that they will not lose patience to save the life of their neighbor.

Lord, we pray for those who are trapped in the collapsed buildings, who are still surviving for the moment. Be at their side, Lord. Don’t let them lose their hope that they will be found by the rescuers. Listen to their cries, merciful God. Give them patience. Give them the strength to endure everything that’s happening on them now. 

Lord, have mercy on the people in Libya. Many has already lost their lives because of this chaos between the leader and the protestants. Inoccent people have been killed. And it’s heartbreaking to know, that these people still don’t stop, like they aren’t concern about the lives of other people who were killed and will be killed in this event. And for the leader who don’t show mercy, who has decided to fight ‘till the last drop of blood, forgive him for he has been blinded by power here on earth, power that is useless without love. They need You, God. 

Lord, we pray for the people in Libya. Guide them all with Your love. You know very well what’s happening there. And it has been made clear in the Bible that You don’t play favorites. If this will bring You the glory, God, then let Your will be done! Jesus, we ask You to bring peace to this nation. God, show them how powerful You are! We trust in Your good heart, God. 

Lord, we pray for all nations. Protesters come out. Hatred is spreading all over. This world is getting more cruel. Jesus, we ask for Your hand to heal us all. Take away the hatred from our hearts. And for those who have already this big heart for You, use them all to spread love, to fight against hatred. Let Your love conquer this world through Your Son, Jesus Christ, and through those who have received Him. God, guide all Your people with Your love. Really, show this world how powerful You are. 

Lord, we cast all our anxieties to You. You are a powerful God. For You, nothing is impossible. We will be faithful in our prayers. We will be faithful in Your decision. Let these heartbreaking events end in Your time for Your time is perfect. 

All these things we ask, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
