God, I see such passion and strength in this family, one cousin sets up a
(bad, bad) scenario for his cousins, another nephew cares for his
uncle, a son cared for his sister’s cause, a cousin works for
reconciliation of his family members, a son is banished, fields are
burned in retort. I am reminded of the quote “with great power must
come greater responsibility.” Good choices were not always made –
despite the intentions. I know, my Lord, that You see my intentions;
but I am responsible for my actions, too. I do not want to have a
scorched earth policy when it comes to my friends, family and spiritual
siblings. Only You know how to wield power perfectly, how to evoke the
right responses, how to bring glory to Your Name without sullying it. I
need Your wisdom, Your properly placed and prioritized passions, Your
plan for life, else I will burn, banish and batter Your Name, people and
the opportunities You place before me. Purify my emotions, my motives
and my heart – me. Help me, in stillness and trust, to wait and
cooperate with Your holy, sacred cleansing work. May I walk according
to Your way-everlasting, glorify Your Name alone and serve You
faithfully in word, deed, thought and strength. You, and no other.
