God,
I was going to come to You today with my long list of problems. I was going to admit I am ready to throw in the towel. I was going to get on bended knee and beg Your divine intervention.
But then I looked around me at out world. I saw all our problems. There is no work for honest folk because companies are going under, folks are homeless and children are going hungry every day because greed and love of money by a few "fat cats" who got rich while destroying our economy since they made money, power and prestige their god. Then I look at all the strife and discord and war going on around the globe. I see people worshipping cell phones, computers and TVs and I realize how very sad all that must make you.
We, like the descendants of Jacob, have forgotten your ten commandments. We have forgotten to honor, praise and worship You. We have placed false gods in Your stead. O Lord, my God, I beseech You to please forgive us our sins. Turn our hearts around so we come back to You. I know You are a forgiving God and I humbly implore You to forgive us. Heal our hearts and minds so we discard those idols and learn once more that You are our only God!!!
Amen
