'Where the Children Are'---------------

Revelation 21:4
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore,
 for the former things have passed away.”

Sadness and prayers walk silently down a long empty hallway.

Laughter and joy have quietly settled into deep recesses and far off corners.
They know their place....

How, Oh God, do we process a grief and horror so senseless??
Where do we go from here???

The only place I can think to go.... is to the Father....
Living in a broken world,....a broken world where everything has become gray...
I search,....with tears streaming, I search for warmth and light..
I long for the assurance, that our children will play and run freely without fear, without question...

In my Father's Heart, I plead ...WHY!!!...Why!...why...
My shouting turning to a whisper

I am broken and wounded...my soul is weeping before the Almighty..
He weeps with me...
I fall numbly into the arms of my Father..Every key stroke, an effort...

Our children were and are in a place, where the unseen forces are wreaking and cackling over their victory, slobbering ruthlessly and planning their next attack.
Chaos and evil reigned terror upon the innocent..for a terrible moment...
And when night fell upon our great land...the gray diminished into darkness..
In this broken world, evil seeks to dominate the battle..a battle that they know,.....
Shall NEVER be theirs for the keeping..

Remember this..
1 Samuel 17:47
“The LORD doesn’t save by using a sword or a spear. And everyone who is here will know it. The battle belongs to the LORD. He will hand all of you over to us.”

They wreak and cackle in the heavenlies....but not for long...

There is a battle waging that can not be fought with more legislation....
It can only be fought with prayer!!!
We are His Hands, We are His feet...We are His people..

We live in a world, where only ONE FORCE can break apart the heavenlies and release the power of the Holy angels to do their Fathers Bidding...
We are the vessel, that Jehovah God will use, if we will but pray..pray!!..PRAY!!!
(and my whisper turns to a shout)

Our government of mere mortals have allowed prayer to diminish...and the very protection we long for,
to leave our children unprotected in a chaotic world.
We are living in a world where wrong is no longer wrong,.... and right is no longer right...

Yet,..... there is a hope that lies within....
The "precious ones",
..for whom we mourn,.... are now abiding safely with the very One
whom we must call upon to release His protection in a gray stained world.
..for those who remain.

Hearts are breaking...on this piece of earth...sadness and prayers are constant companions...
Yet, they will search all the land  for the children's laughter...and unending joy...
A day from here, or a thousand years...

they have been found...

and one day soon we will meet them in the sky...

But for now...may the prayers of this nation, begin to cry with a voice so great...
that the heavenlies will shatter and angelic forces empowered by the Christ child,..
pierce the darkness..

May the tragedy of Newtown...be transformed into the birth of a Praying Nation..

"Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come." Revelation 4:8
