I read the words off my phone last night...church..explosion..I knew exactly what had happened.. I read it out loud and stared hard at my screen. Then it slowly but surely started rolling in...the numbers..the details...
What does someone say to that? anything would be an understatement. An embarrassment.
Prayers. Prayers for the innocent souls to be taken to Your heaven.. for Your justice..for You to protect them. Mostly, pray the hardest for it to stop.
So much anger and sadness combining. I am bitter and disgusted, angry, impatient, frustrated, fedup...I'm so much and I can't do anything about it and it's unbearable!! I feel helpless and so small. Pathetic. I see all these pictures and videos and all i have are words and tears and prayers. All i have are these miserable feelings inside me. and no one is doing anything.
All the words are petty. Useless. Infuriating. Provocative. All the sentiments are superficial. The speeches rehearsed.....The reactions generic.
They were praying...
Praying for God's glory..
on Earth and in the Heavens...
The instant fear as the explosion went off overwhelms..... safely watching on a laptop screen, knowing that human lives have just been lost..their flesh hanging onto the heavy and old wooden doors of a place that holds sanctuary, love and purity. Doors now blood stained.
Screams infused with prayers. Frantic prayer. Triggered by confusion and fear, no one knows what's happening..No one understands.
Insurmountable faith..they just keep praying.
So will I.
For the ability to do more.
