In the midst of unrest and chaos I will still show respect and honor to those in authority. I will address people according to their proper titles, positions, and occupations. Mr. President, Mr. Vice President, Your Majesty, and Your Holiness will be the manner I will be addressing our world leaders. Agreeing or supporting every decision that our world leaders make is not the point. The point that I am trying to convey is the fact that those who rule over us are in those positions for a reason. A grander purpose has been set in motion. We don't know God's plan is for us here on earth. It is like the relationship we have with our parents. We may not like the choices they make, but in the long run we reap the benefits.
In the midst of not being where I want to be in life, I am still proud of the man I turned out to be. I am a son. I am a brother. I am a writer. I am a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Above all I am God's creation. The blood of Christ has washed me clean. Sins and flaws of my past are no more.
In the midst of a lack of originality I have still been able to find things that I enjoy. It could be through reading a book. It could be through watching a documentary. It could be through selecting a movie on Netflix. Whatever it is that I am consuming I am consuming it at my own expanse. Freewill to choose is the ultimate privilege that any individual can ask and strive for.
In the midst of going through reshaping and transformation it is safe to say that I am reformed. Reformed in the sense that when I am wrong, I admit to it. whenever I am right, I do not boast about it. I have learned a lot. I have let go of some things. A working progress I am. But I rather have work in front of me than not work on myself.
In the midst of people putting their trust in stocks and bonds I place my trust in my ability to make things happen for myself and those around me. I am at a point in my life where I set a goal for myself every day. Before the clock hits midnight, the goal set before me is completed. Locking into my passions installs in me a mindset that gives me focus and consistency. Walking the straight and narrow path I feel unstoppable. Critics are blocked out. Doubt has no place in this journey I am on. My steps are operated by humility and meekness.
Father God in the name of Jesus we are here before you despite our weaknesses and worries. We ask you for clarity of vision. We ask you for the ability to unite as one body and one nation. We ask you to forgive us from every sin we have committed. Cover this nation under your blood. Cover every state. Cover every city. Cover the nation's Capital from Capitol Hill, the White House, to the Supreme Court. Help our leaders and guide them with every decision they make. Draw every prodigal son and wayward daughter back into your loving arms. Open the spiritual eyes of your people. Continue to give us the tools we need so we will be prepared for your return. In Jesus name, Amen.
