Turn your eyes to God in prayer.

The unnecessary negativity is too much to read sometimes but instead of getting upset with the way the world works i'll give it to God in prayer because what do we have to lose right? I believe we lose nothing for praying but we gain a lot of things.

I ask God in my prayer to help us to bring peace into the world we live in today. The kind of peace that can only come from God.

Where there is hatred, may we show God's love to others. Where there is sadness, may we show the joy we find in Christ alone. Where there is darkness, I pray we are able to shine the light of God for others. Where there is doubt, may God help us to share the faith and hope of our Savior Jesus Christ.

I pray we not only seek to find compassion and acceptance from one another, as much as to be understood by others. To be loved as we love one another in return unconditionally as God has taught us to do.

It is in giving we can see the blessings of God first hand in our lives on a day to day basis. It is in forgiving others God has forgiven us. It is all in God and only God who has given all of us the blessing of love and life.
