True prayer is neither a mere mental exercise nor a vocal performance.
It is far deeper than that–
it is a spiritual transaction with the Creator of Heaven and Earth.
Charles Spurgeon

Once again we are called to offer our prayers, our hearts, our thoughts to God for
ambushed and murdered police officers.
Our prayers are offered upward for these officers and their families who are left wondering why.
Not that these officers were unaware or naive to the dangers of their job, their calling..
The potential that each day could be the day that they are called upon to offer their all…
Yet to be ambushed…purposefully and willfully cut down…in cold blooded murder…
is difficult to process.
We wonder, we worry, if we are now growing numb and jaded to the almost daily news of
the heinous taking of life …
Numb to the daily images of grieving families…wives now widows, children now without a parent…
As a part of our society has decided that any and all police officers are no longer worthy of living…
The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.
1 John 3:8

Sigh. I have nothing to say. All so sad
I know–it’s to that point of what is there…but to continue in our prayers

It is not even easy talking about this, imagine the families of those directly affected jewels.
The rage of the heart of man is aflame like never before. Oh how God is patient.
Amen — truly
… heart breaking beyond words… (John 11:35)
that says it all—Jesus wept—
Evil has run rampant for sure. So very very sad! 😦 😦 😦
