many years ago when I was young and in grade school we daily recited the Lord's Prayer,
which even back then brought me much comfort and hope,
as I lived in a household of corruption with violence and darkness at every turn.
the Lord's Prayer literally switched a Light on in my heart and a seeking began inside
of me for that Light.
many of today's children have no idea or concept about responsibility or consequences,
not to mention no idea of the love, grace, care, sacrifice of our heavenly Father,
as their households are null and void of anything Holy, just, and pure.
how much evidence does one need to acknowledge what the world has become
and where it is going to?
in our history, when man makes his own set of 'rules' in place of our Saviours,
the results are recorded and obvious.
in scripture the children of Israel forsake their God, and God forsakes them.
the lesson is repeated numerous times for emphasis!
ISAIAH 1:4.
Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters:
they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger,
they are gone away backward.
