Christian Reflection and Prayer

(LET US ALWAYS REMEMBER THESE WORDS
ESPECIALLY DURING THIS HOLIDAY SEASON)

 

TO ALL CHILDREN

 

How many mountains must you face before you
learn to climb? I'm gonna give you what it takes,
my universal child

 

I'm gonna try to find a way to keep you safe from
harm I'm gonna be a special place, a shelter from
the storm And I can see you, you're everywhere,
your portrait fills the sky I'm gonna wrap my arms
around you, my universal child

 

And when I look into your eyes, so innocent and
pure I see the shadow of the things that you've
had to endure I see the tracks of every tear that
ran right down your face I see the hurt, I see the
pain, I see the human race And I can feel you,
you're everywhere, shining like the sun I wished to
god that kids like you could be like everyone

How many tumbles must it take before you learn
to fly? I'm going to help you spread your wings,
my universal child

 

I'm gonna try to find a way to keep you safe from
harm We're gonna be a special place, a shelter
from the storm

I can feel you, you're everywhere, shining like the
sun And I wished to god that kids like you could
be like everyone And I wished to god that kids
like you could be like everyone

 

(Annie Lennox - Universal Child Lyrics)

 

I PROMISE!!!!!

When life takes us on all sorts of strange twists
and turns, let us remember that it’s not we who
are driving the car. The Lord Almighty is guiding
us, and He knows exactly where we need to be.
Sometimes it seems that things aren’t going the
way that they should be, but we must have faith
that it’s all part of God’s plan. Our job is to keep
on trucking, and trust God to take care of the
blessings.

PEACE!,

Election Day is tomorrow, and unfortunately voter
intimidation has already cropped up at some early
voting polls. We’re more committed than ever to
#WitnessTheVote: to go to the polls en masse,
and make sure everyone has the right to vote this
Election Day.

We've been working tirelessly to compile these
resources, including instructions on how YOU can
make a difference at your own polling place. Learn
more here.

Voter suppression and intimidation efforts are real,
and they must be countered with peaceful presence
— ensuring all of our brothers and sisters have their
votes counted.

If you are a pastor or clergy member, we urge you
to go to the polls and serve your community. Snap
photos of yourself, friends, and/or colleagues in
your ministry garb, and tweet them to
#WitnesstheVote for @Sojourners to lift up your efforts.

Find all our election resources here, and join us in
prayer and peaceful presence this Election Day!
