Today's Prayer Meditation is on the Book of Habakkuk
How long, Father, until you cleanse the earth? Violence is everywhere. I see destruction and violence all around. The earth is filled with people who love to argue and fight. At times it appears that the law has become paralyzed, and there is no justice in the courts. The wicked seem to outnumber the righteous, and they have perverted justice. Their strength is their god.

Today's Prayer Meditation is on the Book of Habakkuk
How long, Father, until you cleanse the earth? Violence is everywhere. I see destruction and violence all around. The earth is filled with people who love to argue and fight. At times it appears that the law has become paralyzed, and there is no justice in the courts. The wicked seem to outnumber the righteous, and they have perverted justice. Their strength is their god.
But you, Father, are holy and eternal. You are pure and cannot stand the sight of evil. You will not wink at their treachery or be silent while the wicked swallow up the righteous.
I will study the vision you have spoken in your word. I write it plainly so that others can see and understand. Your word will be fulfilled. If it seems slow in coming, I will wait patiently, for it will surely take place and it will not be delayed.
I live by my faithfulness to you. Earthly wealth will turn to ashes. But as the waters fill the sea, the earth will be filled with the awareness of your glory.
How foolish it would be to trust in my own creation.
I have heard about you all of my life, Father. I am filled with awe by your amazing works and your unfailing mercy.
Your brilliant splendor fills the heavens, and the earth is filled with your praise. Your coming is as brilliant as the sunrise. Rays of light flash from your hands, where your awesome power is hidden. When you stop, the earth shakes. When you look, the nations tremble. You shatter the everlasting mountains and level the eternal hills. You are the Eternal One.
You struck the rivers and parted the seas. You sent your chariots of salvation. And brandished your bow and your quiver of arrows. You split open the earth with flowing rivers. The mountains watched and trembled. Onward swept the raging waters. The mighty deep cried out, lifting its hands in submission. The sun and moon stood still in the sky as your brilliant arrows flew and your glittering spear flashed.
You went out to rescue your chosen people, to save your anointed ones. You crushed the head of the enemy and stripped him from head to toe. You took the keys of death and hell from him. You trampled the sea with your horses, and the mighty waters piled high.
I will wait quietly for the coming day when you will return. I rejoice in you. I am joyful in the God of my salvation. You are my strength. You make me as surefooted as a deer, able to tread upon the heights.
So be it.
Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
