Beloved, my heart cries as I write this message. I am so deeply saddened in my spirit. I must unleash my heart today. I will remain simple, and direct. No cunning words, no brilliant speech, just a broken heart, that has to be delivered now.
Beloved, o dear people, why are we so unmoved? Why do we not weep, for the multitudes dying lost around us? Why do we not pray? Are we so spiritually deaf, that we cant hear the cry of the millions around us? They cry for a way out! They cry for a Savior! They cry for something, someone, to somehow save them from their miserable lives!! How are we so deaf, beloved? It is because we don’t pray! Are we so spiritually blind, that we don’t see the people around us, clawing at anything, and everything that looks to even be a small promise of hope?! How can we not see? As 17, 18 and 19 year old boys and girls, take a gun to their head, and say, “today I will finally find peace.” Why don’t we see?! My heart breaks!! I weep as I write this! The reason is because we don’t pray! We are so spiritually numb!!! We are selfish! We are so lazy! We make every excuse to get out of prayer, but we never make a excuse to go to prayer! We can set in church, our 2 and 3 times a week, and laugh at the latest joke the preacher tells, while millions of people try to hide behind a smile, but they have never even know hope!! Beloved, this is sin!!! We don’t pray! Please hear me!! This is sin!! How long has it been since you have had a broken prayer?! How long has it been since you have turned off that sick perversion of the world, and entered into your prayer closet to have a broken heart for those hopeless and lost? What excuse do you have for not praying?!? Whatever it is… if it is more important than being broken, and having a time of prayer, it is sin!! And you may be turned to a reprobate mind!! O people!! Someone hear me!! Someone stand up! and feel the heart of God!! O, how it must be broken!! He must cry! For all His people He has saved, wont even love Him enough, to take time and feel His heart! God, forgive us all! Forgive us all. For we are so sinful! We appear so holy before men, but God knows!! Where no prayer is… there is flesh! And flesh always brings death! It is time to be broken, beloved! To stop living in sin!! And come to where God wants us… in a broken prayer.

This is very very good, I waited like you asked me too, until it was quiet and everyone was in bed and read this and it brought tears to my eyes. This was something discussed in one of our devotionals today, and yours brought tears to my eyes, and made me think. I have plenty of time to do the things I want to do but I dont always have "time" to pray I find other things to do, but from now on Im going to try my hardest to make time throughtout my day to pray... Thank You So Much You have and AMAZING GIFT and no matter what you think you know even if you think no one is reading it I am EVERYDAY I look forward to reading your blog and it always ministers to me... Thank You again from the bottom of my heart...

i think... sometimes people, whether in the "Faith" or not... have a hard time confronting real life issues, and when left un-confronted, unfortunately, those people in the midst of chaos don't know what to do or where to turn.
I think people with major problems (problems that drvive people to do unthinkable things) really have a hard time believeing that anyone
.cares
.understands
.loves them
and sometimes, maybe people in their lives don't ... meet those needs for whatever reasons.
and im not justifying them not meeting the needs and im certainly not justifying suicide but what i think we as people need to do is maybe not "do" so much, but "be".
"Be" the person that people with problems can talk to and trust. "Be" the person that is willing to listen without judging and condemning. "Be" the person that is willing to pray, to sacrifice, to be there, to believe for that one.
You may be the one to help them get to Jesus.
In fact, you may just be "Jesus" to them.
amen
Amen....this is so true people dont have time to pray they are to busy blaming work, their kids, everything but theirselves well ill be the first to say i dont give God enough praise but im working on it....pray every chance you get because i belive if we dont pray the devil will fight us harder....just take today out to pray every chance you get and see how you feel at the end of the day okay i think ive wrote enough this morning!!!
