Father, we pray that you would heal this deep political divide in our country. Help us to love those around us the way You do, God, and more in those who disagree with us.

As leftist extremists grow louder and more violent, many have walked away from the left side of politics. This is just one story of many.

From Keri Smith on Medium. I’ve been undergoing a pretty significant change in the way I interpret the world and how to ‘be’ in it….

Who is praying on the wall?

 

How are you praying for healing of the great divide in our country? Share your thoughts and prayers below.

As I read Keri’s well written article it became obvious what a ripe field for harvest there is among the unsaved left. I’m sure many like her are questioning how extreme our society is dividing…
In Jesus name we pray to be prepared to witness to the people we encounter in our everyday life, that all that is missing is YOU Lord!!!!

Father God,
I pray in the name of Jesus that You will call out many more people who have been swept up in the deceptive rhetoric. Remove the scales from their eyes so they see the Truth. Help them forsake the self-righteousness and recognize that only You are right all the time. Open their ears to hear Truth, and give them minds and hearts to understand and receive the Truth.
Forgive them wherever they have sinned and been led astray. Thank You for Your kindness, love, mercy and grace.
Amen.

Our only Truth comes through the reading of the Bible. John: “ if you abide in my word, you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.” Jesus is the truth and the only way!

This is a great article and reminder of what I am called to as a follower of Christ.
May the believers rise up and love those that persecute and hate us. Love covers a multitude of sins. God will take care of the rest, HE is just.

Vilify, dehumanize, label, name call, and attack both verbally and physically those you disagree with does seem to be the play book of those wanting to censor and silence and do physical harm to anyone who dares to disagree with them or to ask a question. If someone is labeled an enemy or a Nazi etc. that makes it ok to harm them it seems. We hear literally nothing about the attempted assassination of Justice Kavanaugh on the news but if it had been an attack on a pro-death rather than a pro-life justice, it would run 24/7 on the news cycle. But as Christ followers, we march to a different drummer and are called to play by different rules. “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you” and “Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. . . . as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, . . . If your enemy is hungry, feed him; . . . Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” Very countercultural but that is the more excellent way we are called to walk. Thank you for mentioning Daryl Davis and how he is bringing people out of the KKK. What a wonderful example of ministering to those who are your sworn enemies! What a courageous light to show us how we can also live out these commands of Jesus in our own lives. Heavenly Father, help me to follow Your ways and not the world’s ways, to remember this is a spiritual battle and to put on Your armor and to remember “not by power, not by might but by Your Spirit” the battle, which is Yours, is won. May you find me faithful. http://www.mtothe5th.wordpress.com

What a smart and courageous young woman! This is the only encouraging thing I’ve seen written about Generation Z – ever!

Lord, please bless this young writer and protect her from any “woke” backlash from her dangerous peers; let no weapon formed against her prosper. May more follow her level-headed lead. Please let her know You, Lord Jesus, and know Your love for her.

“And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. ” ~ 1 Cor. 13:13

Heavenly Father, thank you for the spiritual awakening that has taken place in Keri Smith and others like her. Though I don’t know if she is saved in Jesus Christ, please bless her as she uses her gift of speech and writing to expose the lies and tactics of the enemy that are destroying lives. May her efforts bring about revelations in her heart and the hearts of those that hear her message that You are the answer to fighting the lies of the enemy. Amen.
