A Prayer

O Lord, if only the Jews would grasp for YOU and not just for an earthly piece of land! For "he that puts his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain" . O Lord, it is your Son Jesus Christ who is our promised reward along with a new heaven and new earth, one in which righteousness reigns. Your people struggle and war for something that is passing away. They are no different than the other men of this world grasping for control in Iraq, Ukraine, Nigeria, Syria, and the Palestinians whom they fight! Glorify your name in them and turn their eyes to You in whom they will find an end of all struggling.

Psalm 5:3

"My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning

will I direct my prayer unto Thee, and will look up."

The root word of  "morning" in Hebrew means to seek, enquire or look for. As the earth seeks or turns toward the sun which creates the morning, so should we turn our faces upward toward the Son who is seated in Heaven and put our trust in Him.
