A prayer for answers:

Lord in Heaven,

You sacrificed Your only Son to redeem the world, and through His blood we are made innocent.

But what of those who have not HEARD YOUR WORD?

What of those millions, billions, throughout time, who did not benefit from seeing Your Son, knowing His Truth, or experiencing the fire started by His Apostles?

I pray, Dear Lord, for all those who have not been touched by You that they may Know You, it is a mystery.

I pray for those friends I made in Utah, who are on the ROAD, as so many of us are, not fully understanding Your grace and Love.

We pray for the widow, the orphan and the stranger.

We pray for the ignorant and the outcast.

We pray for the abandoned and the suffering, wherever they might be.

We pray, and WE KNOW that YOUR WORD is powerful and crosses through time.

AMEN

Discussion:

Off topic: today was a day of spiritual weakness, the cop following me, and other stuff not relevant or significant to mention.

Hosea’s accusations … something to consider.

Think of Abraham wandering, wondering, if today is the day he will be destroyed by some random person. Before he had a family, a wife, land and herds, as he wandered what must have seemed ENDLESSLY through a bleak and dangerous world.

And yet, not all that Abraham met were bad, and many became his family.

9. What does the DEVIL steal from the world? What does he cherish above all else? – innocence, the destruction of innocence, and then he takes you SOUL, or tries to.
10. Where do children go when they are too young to understand scripture or God, and they die? Mark 10:14 … https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark%2010%3A14&version=NIV

A moment of silence for Wisdom from the Word, The Holy Spirit, from Jesus and Our Father in Heaven.

A moment of silence for children that have died.

A moment of silence for the widow, the orphan, the stranger.

Lord’s Prayer:

GO IN PEACE and SPREAD THE WORD BY LIVING THE WORD, so that no innocent might be condemned.
