From the depths of despair, O LORD, I call for your help (Psalm 130:1; NLT).
Lord,
I despair at the state
Of the world:
At our envy, greed,
Hatred, and war.
Please help us to love,
To lend, share and give,
Then we’ll crave, steal and kill, Lord,
No more.
Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it (Psalm 34:14; NIV).
Love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! (Matthew 5:44; NLT).
