Now Is the Time: by Dr.Yohanna Katanacho

 

More sleepless nights

More scary wake-ups by loud sirens and cries

More restrictions and ties

More bad news and destruction of supplies

More loss of lives, more media lies

More hatred and missiles in the skies.

 

Now is the time for the sermon on the Mount

Now is the time to pray the psalms

Now is the time to repent

Now is the time to surrender to Jesus

Now is the time to love,

 

love Iran and Israel,

love Palestinians and Jews,

love everyone and exclude none

 

Now is the time to speak wisdom and show kindness

The tragedy is not helplessness

but hardness of hearts

 

The change that God desires does not start outside but deep inside our hearts

The time is ripe to choose godly lives

The time is ripe to expose and challenge the lies

 

Hatred and revenge are not from God, be wise

Let us pray

for justice,

for righteousness,

for love

 

Our spirits are frozen by hate

but warm prayers can melt the chains

and deliver heaven’s surprise
