I know that there is no reason that my time on earth should be smooth sailing from day to day with each moment passing in the peaceful awareness of reality that is promised by "The Lord's Prayer",  the "Our Father".

God knows that I often have to force myself into completing the petitions that are his guidance as how to maintain from our side the response that his, in my case, "My John" unceasingly calls to each one of us by our individual names.

The Scriptures are composed of the responses of only some of the individuals whose inspired words and deeds match the Divine Righteousness God has created all of us to reflect. There are billions of others of us whose words and deeds are known only to Our Heavenly Father.

Dear Lord, help me to get myself out of the "mud of the deep where there is no foothold". Help me to be absorbed into your mystical body and bear witness in word and deed to my experience of your loving Mercy. You know that I am afraid of punishment for I know that Justice demands it. You also know that I am horrified by the image of you cursing the towns who refused to listen to your revelation. I also know that there is no Righteous Justice on either side at this moment in Your Holy Land. You know that I am not the only "little one" who is confused in this way. Help us to find clarity by living only in your Light;

As for we in our poverty and pain, 

let your salvation raise us up, 

Then we will praise our God's name with a song, 

We will glorify him with thanksgiving.
