Today's Scripture & Prayer
The cry of our Hearts 🇰🇪🇰🇪
Scripture
Joel 2:12-13 AMPC
[12] Therefore also now, says the Lord, turn and keep on coming to Me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning [until every hindrance is removed and the broken fellowship is restored]. [13] Rend your hearts and not your garments and return to the Lord, your God, for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in loving-kindness; and He revokes His sentence of evil [when His conditions are met].
Reflection
Our hearts have bled. Our tears run deep.
Our nation is asking why?
Kenya has not wronged us, we have wronged Kenya. Our soil is crying over blood that has been spilt over it. It is people who are hurting people.
Even so, just like the earth called out to Cain over Abel's blood, it will still cry over those it has received before their time.
Right now we can no longer be angry, we can only plead for the mercy of God.
Prayer
Lord, our nation is hurting so badly. We have seen things we have never seen before. Lord, Father, we plead mercy. We have tried different ways, none of them has succeeded. We have no other source of help but You. Look upon us Lord, upon children who are weeping helplessly. Upon the youth whose dreams are now buried. Lord we plead for mercy, mercy alone is what will get us through this pain. Thank You because You continue to bring us comfort and we know with You on our side we can never be defeated.
Blessed be Your name forever and ever. In Jesus name, amen.
Shalom 🇰🇪🙏
