Lord, You know so well our arrogance and pride.

We go around wringing our hands, fearful of what’s to come. We cry out for justice while failing to offer it to others. We say we want peace while stirring up contentions. We say we want “equality” but in reality we want “me first and foremost”.

Foolish people that we are, we think we know how to “fix it” . In truth, it is not our plans, or efforts, or even our best intentions that will make the difference.

To really make a difference; just two things are required: true worship of You and obedience to Your word. The very things that we reject.

Teach me Lord to put away all my selfish desires. Teach me to be content in You ; to be still and patient in seasons of troubles and trials. Let the difference begin with me.
