Try Praying Day 5

This, then, is how you should pray:
'Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.'
For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
Matthew 6 v 9-13

been away from this for a few days cuz it's been the bank holiday weekend. there really are so many disasters in the world. there was another aftershock in china on sunday. about 5.8. puts our little one experienced a couple of months ago seem like nothing. i listen to the news and it's literally all full of teenagers being murdered. by one another. for no particular reason. probably cuz they're bored. man, what is this world? Lord, how can your will be done on this EARTH, when it's looking like this? where is the kingdom of heaven on this earth?

How great is our God
The splendor of a King, clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice
All the earth rejoice
He wraps himself in Light, and darkness tries to hide
And trembles at His voice
Trembles at His voice
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God
Age to age He stands
And time is in His hands
Beginning and the end Beginning and the end
The Godhead Three in One
Father Spirit Son
The Lion and the Lamb
The Lion and the Lamb
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God
Name above all names
Worthy of all praise
My heart will sing
How great is our God
Name above all names
Worthy of all praise
My heart will sing
How great is our God
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God
how great would it be too see and hear the whole world sing this in a huge massive gigantic chorus. singing to the almghty one. Lord, heal this land. this land that is so full of sin. suffering. hurt. we're lost. but Lord, lead us to be lost; not in sin, but in wonder, awe and majesty at your glory and splendour. thank you for all that you've created. the beauty of the universe. thank you for your blood. Lord, thank you for listening and answering prayer. you really are the one true God.
we went to the humber bridge yesterday. it was nice. i was pleasently surprised. I don't really like doing this type of thing 1)cuz there'e not usual anyone my age, and 2) cuz i destest moving around and would rather sit at home and sleep. anyways it was great to have a church day out. it was proper windy on the way back and i got so wind swept it was unbelievable. made me realise just how beautiful my surroundings are. i'm so engrossed in all the crap that's around me, but there is lots more. again, i just need to go and open my eyes to it.
so, i'm back to work and have nothing in particular to do with myself. i have LESS than one month left of work here. To be honest, i'm pretty scared. i really don't know what the direction is....can i trust and obey. is it that easy? Lord, please close the doors for me to the places that you don't want me to go.
