Tomorrow begins Lent, a season for Cleansing, Denial, and Cessation of Hostilities; in light of the Egyptian Christians who were martyred into Heaven, let ALL GOD’s PEOPLE inter into Prayer.

Dear Lord, into thy hands our Neighbor’s Soul, into thy decree broken Hearts receive, and to their slayers Lenten Ash and Sackcloth be. No punishment can restore what has been Taken from this Body. Instead, please strengthen our Sympathetic nerve to do Diligence and World Petition.

“When the queen of Sheba witnessed Solomon’s great wisdom, the house he had built, the food at his table, the seating of his ministers, the attendance and dress of his waiters, his servers, and the burnt offerings he offered in the house of the LORD, it took her breath away. “The report I heard in my country about your deeds and your wisdom is true,” she told the king.

“I did not believe the report until I came and saw with my own eyes that not even the half had been told me. Your wisdom and prosperity surpass the report I heard. Happy are your servants, happy these ministers of yours, who stand before you always and listen to your wisdom.

Blessed be the LORD, your God, who has been pleased to place you on the throne of Israel. In his enduring love for Israel, the LORD has made you king to carry out judgment and justice.” (1 Kings 10:4-9 NABRE)

God’s resolve is binding. Word or Psalm alone cannot appease those in Mourn, but the Holy One will bring amends. All who bow in Christ’s name are welcomed into the House of God; where Judgment and Justice is sought through Tenacity of Prayer.
