SEE ME ~ Flawed to Flawless

Father I thank you for waking us this morning and for the gentle rest we received last night.  I thank you for being the awesome father, nurturer, and provider that you are.  Lord on this day my heart is heavy as I look at the negative things going on around me and the increase of violence occurring in every city and state.  Yet, I know that you said in your word these things would happen and that we should not be troubled.  I also know that you are able to change the situation and hearts of man.  Lord I ask that you enter the hearts and minds of your child opening our eyes to the people we are and the people you'd have us to be.
