I have been reading an awful lot of bilge about the election of Donald Trump - the hideous riots. Young people behaving like buffoons. Paid buffoons by the sound of it ! Honestly, it is not befitting of a 1st world nation in the 21st Century. The UK - Europe - seem to tend towards the same ghastly behavior. A total lack of self control or manners. It's like the world has descended into a state of barbarism. A la Neanderthals. The ripple effect from the muslim jihadis, perhaps? Our leaders have zero regard for ordinary people and gleefully promote violence and division. If they did care and have a sense of responsibility, and were mature adults, proper, Obama and Clinton would be urging these people to halt the riots and accept the will of the majority. But they don't because they are - quite simply - insane. They are all psychotic maniacs. They don't give a monkey's uncle about killing or starving vast groups of humans. War is their meat - divide and rule is their potatoes. It is so sad and depressing and I am hugely irritated by it all now. Enough, already. It is so tiring being depressed and downhearted. Gone are the days when I could leap into my car, on a sunny day, breathing in the air and look forward to the day ahead. Relishing the challenges - making plans for the weekend, enjoying the music on the radio and soaking in the cricket commentary - not!  Haha. Just try listening to a 5 day game commentary on the radio. Not so thrilling.  Even more ' not so thrilling ' is the final acceptance that evil is running rampant and is being allowed to. I know - theoretically - that this is my Almighty God's will but the reality is a bitter pill to swallow. It SUCKS !

I know this mess is all our LORD's will.  To lead us all to Him. I know He sent Kings mad  -  Nebuchadnezzar for example. LORD God -may I humbly point out that our leaders are mad, yet still haven't been put out to grass ? We yearn to be with you, LORD God Almighty. We are weary. Depressed. Aching to be with you. Please, please come soon and end this sordid mess. We plead with you, beg of you, implore you. We yearn to be bathed in your love and light. Free to worship you without any sin attached to our sorry carcasses. Loving and worshiping you without any agenda or earthly need. Have pity on us LORD. We are so homesick. We know where we belong. With You.

LORD, we pray for the peace of Jerusalem and that Thy Will be done.

In our LORD Jesus' Beloved, Precious Name we pray.
