I worry about a big financial problem that may occur too. Please help me and answer my prayers and give me a sign that things will be better.
Prayers to anyone affected bye ICE. Let God blatantly see his children. Let the people live and thrive. Prayers to the conservatives that think there are qualifications needed for god. Let god look most closely at those that need help with this. The most liberal people I know are 99% more loving than those that use religion as a tool to separate humans. The people are all valid. We all need love, food, safety & comfort. Let our church be so comforting, that people aren’t scared of us. Let us comfort them, as you would. As anyone would. Let us change pace- and instead of hatred, deportations and violence, lets us turn to love for once. Let our children see the morals we have instilled in them aren’t just words, but practice. In the darkest days, let us practice what we preach.
