Pray for hatred and for hope for Barcelona




How can we pray for enemie that only wants to kill and harm us
How do l make sense of this teaching of a Jewish Rabbi called Jesus from around 2000 years ago
Did he know what the enemies of faith would be
Was it possible he had not measured into his guidelines for life
Islamic terrorist who excisted to destroy 
kill
 harm those who they class as infidels 
How would such a prayer manifest itself
You see l feel too weak to carry out this teaching

I have walked La Rambles 
witnessed the beauty of Barcelona 
Where last evening over 13 innocent people were killed by up to then an invisible enemy 
Love such people
Every part of me wants to teach these people a harsh lesson
Love your enemies 
How Lord?

We can pray that our enemies will discover the father heart of God 
That they will be so filled of the knowledge of being created in his image 
They will follow the first three commandments the spirit gave to Moses
Those same guarding principles Jesu called us to accept
Jesus calls us to Love God,
Love one another 
Love our neighbour
If we are doing that all that hatred will not be able to have a hold upon us
If our enemy is filled with these commandments of the Lord
All else will fit into place

I am a weak guy trying like you to make sense of why 
Why some people who last evening
We're Sipping coffees in the beautiful city of Barcelona 
Then last nite were killed
But in wrestling with this can we turn to God,seek help,wrestle with this teaching?

So let's pray for all the hurt caused by the events in Barcelona and nearby.

Hear us father God so we may take to others the teaching of your son
That mercy will be evident
The skills of the health servers will be better enabled 
Turn hearts from hatred to hope
Dear Lord hear by your spirit this prayer.

MAYBE WE WON`T MEET AGAIN

. . . she got a postcard in the mail
That just said Heaven,with a picture of the ocean and the beach
The simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near,Wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, "
I miss you so, wish you were here"
