Pray for us

Pray for us

 

Money rules the world

Yes, money rules everything.

Nothing is here without money.

God favours the rich.

The poor is cursed

 

Our humble prayers do not reach His ears .

The sounds of our knocking His door

have failed to fetch His mercy.

I don't know

Why my father has turned His face

towards the rich.

 

I fear what will happen in future?

Starvation and poverty at us stare ever,

Is misery the gift from our Father?

Pray for us

Please pray for our survival.

 

The Cruel and culprits are teasing

our faith and hope in loud voice

towarsds us He has to turn His face

He has to hear our cries

To establish His reign on this earth...

Money is not...

the root of all evil. The LOVE of money is the root of all evil. Keep your head up Steven. I have missed you, and my thoughts and prayers are always with you. I have a new chat time coming up, it will be two hrs. earlier. I hope that you will join us. I dreamt the other night, that you and I were on a boat, and we discovered a treasure chest, but I awoke before we could open it. I wonder what was in it? If you find out, please let me know. God is not deaf to our prayers, he just doesn't want to tip his hand, before he is ready. ~ Gee ~ P.S. you have done well with your work, it has improved greatly.

God is listening

We often look to see his hand in what is, to see if he will stop what should not be and to level the playing fields between us. But, where we get confused is forgetting that he is a God of "free will". Your free will, my free will and those that are rich as well as those that are poor. It is not that he wants them to have it and you to not have it. It is that those who are rich view money for what it is....a vehicle to pursue free will... God's desire for us all is to make the most out of our lives. Live fully without regret, resentment or hesitation. As long as we live in what is not, we will only see what has not come. May God bless you and bring you peace.
