What Pat Robertson SHOULD have said.
Hey folks,
The whole Pat Robertson thing has STILL got me annoyed. As I said, i have a VERY good friend, Wilbert, over there right now. As we speak, I still have no idea what his status is. Neither does his family. So unlike Pat Robertson, when this happened, we have another "Christian" that did what HE should have done. She offered this prayer.
Heavenly Father,
It is with a heavy heart that we come to you, not necessarily knowing what we should ask for because many of us are wondering, "Why did this happen? Why has tragedy struck Haiti again and why do so many lives have to be lost again? Why has this beautiful island been struck by a catastrophic earthquake and ruined?" But as many questions as we have regarding the situation, we still humble ourselves before you to ask for your mercy to be upon Haiti and its people. Extend your hand upon the land and restore all that has been lost, destroyed and damaged to be better than it was before. As rescue teams search for casualties, give them foresight. May they be led by your wisdom, and encouraged by your strength and advised by your discernment. There are yet people who are surviving and I pray that the rescue workers would find them in time and revive them. For the lives that will be lost, we pray for immediate comfort to come to the family and friends of the deceased. For those of us who are watching this unfold from the outside, I pray that you would give us hearts of compassion so that we can give out of our surplus to fill the deficit that is widening in Haiti. May we all extend ourselves in any way possible to secure our brothers and sisters in Haiti. And may every prayer regarding this tragedy be heard and responded to in your good time.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen
AMEN Ms. Nicole Symmonds. Thank you. For putting ANYTHING and EVERYTHING aside, to simply ask God to help those in Haiti, for forgetting ANYTHING other than the well being for the Haitian people, you ARE the winner of this weeks Display of Logic award.
Now is not the time to play Politics, make profits, or postulate a belief as to why. Now is the time to come together and help. Period. Thank you very much for that heart felt prayer Ms. Symmonds.
Peter
