LORD, how much stronger YOU must be than I can even picture. To see all that is going on in this world and to be able to hold YOURSELF back until the right time, it must take gargantuan strength. To hear of tragedies like Maria Chapman's, to know so many sick children and adults, to hear of heinous crime after crime, to see our selfishness grow every day while we ignore our neighbor - how can YOU wait?

Change me, GOD.
