Lost: Families

I don't seem to understand why it is so hard for our families to come together or to forgive each other. I notice that we can more easily forgive a friend or stranger than a brother , sister, uncle, aunt or parent. What must we do to be able to forgive the ones we are suppose to love as family, over those that we know friend or neighbor? I mean, we more often will forgive and forget what was done by a friend than what your sister or brother did or said.

Love is suppose to be the glue that binds families together, but we let guilt, envy, jealousies, money, property and anger divide families for generations. The family sometimes never recovers the lose love, respect and joy that once was shared when growing up and living under one household. We have allowed the family to die due to the pride of the individual to have more weight than the love of family. We have allowed the outside influences to have more sway in our lives than love of family.

We need to find whatever will work to bring us together as a family, a community, a city , a nation and the entire world. What will stop the destruction of the family? God is waiting for all of us to realize that we are all one family. We live together, we die together. Let us start by praying as a family. Praying changes things. I've tested it. It brought my daughter off the streets and she is starting school in September. Thank God!

Words

Words have the power to build or destroy. In many cases the words that are said are more powerful than a gun or bomb. Words used in prayer have the same effect. Let us pray for life and not death. Let us pray for peace and love, not hate and war.

Use your words of power in prayer, not to curse or profane . The words you speck have power. Speck in love, not hate. Speck to heal, not to hurt. Speck to build up, not to destroy.

Words have power, be careful where you point them.

Prayer Is Needed

There are a lot of things going on in the world today that I could talk about, but I only see that we are not doing what we can to stop the increase in violence among the young people of this country.

Everyone is concentrating on the economy, but no one is looking at the growing number of crimes among our children and young adults. They are killing each other with no regards or respect for life.

In most cases we are just standing by letting them do it. If you are fearful, lacking faith, or don't know what to do. Pray.

Prayer has the power to change things. Don't get it wrong , it is not going to change over night, but you have to start somewhere. Start with Prayer. The power is going to come when you and I pray together, along with everyone else.

That those that pray the same prayer can change the way life is, into what life can be. It can be peaceful, joyous, happy, prosperous, and wonderful. It all starts with prayer. Just try it, wait and watch what happens.
