KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"
DEAR GOD: You know the emptiness of my heart. Sometimes I wonder if you are there, if you hear, and if there is any hope that my situation will be different. When loneliness looms around me, when my questions are unanswered, when no one seems to care, when days and nights go on and on with no change, when I fall deeper into despair, I pray that you will let your peace fall upon me as gently as the spring rain that waters the earth. Remind me of your unconditional and eternal love for me. Assure me of your presence. Fill my heart with the hope that my life is held in your hand. Lift my pain so that joy may flow freely again through me. I ask this for the sake of your love. Amen.

Nice quote BUT it is what drives many to the excesses of the level they are on as well as the greed that is pervasive in America. It is part of the process of the brand of egoism that leads to people making the misguided choices in their lives and who they vote for as leaders.
Like I said, nice quote. But I think that it has to be tempered.
Isn't this a quote from Nelson Mandella's inaugural speech? The sentiment is so true that whoever spoke these words spoke to our hearts. Fear is the culprit. Remember each time an angel of the Lord spoke to humanity, the first words were "fear not."
The quote has always been attributed to Nelson Mandela, but it was actually written by Marrianne Williamson.
