penny for my thoughts

When I look at the world, I see so many demons. Why is the world so full of demons? Why do they have such control over the people? God, why is there so much hatred? The other day I saw someone who got shot. I didn't see him get shot, but I saw him on the ground as I drove past. How does Satan have so much control over people that we are trying to kill each other? How can someone let themselves be lead by him? I don't understand it, even though I used to do the same. I used to get mad at people and hate them. I'm guilty of murder. I used to do what they do. I used to let myself be lead by demons. I never tried to kill anyone, but I'm guilty of murder.
But there is hope in this world. I have met a few good people. I have met people who are honest and caring. I have met people that will do what they say. I have met people who instead of trying to kill others, they try to help them. Oh Lord, thank you for my discipleship family; for my parents and my siblings. Lord, it's not a coincidence I'm here. It's not a coincidence I went to the encuentro. It's not a coincidence you have given these people to me for guidance, support and friendship. Thank you for leading me here. Thank you for all of the people you have placed in my path. Thank you for the opportunities I've had. Thank you for your blood and your body. Oh Lord, thank you for giving them to me. With Your help, we will do great things, Lord. With Your help, we will conquer the world. With Your help, we will turn murderers into saints, we will turn hatred into love, we will turn war into peace, we will transform this world. Oh Lord, give me strength. Give me wisdom, courage, and fill me with Your Spirit. Oh Lord, you gave your life for me, the least I could do is dedicate mine to you. Oh Lord, be with me. Guide me. Show me the path. Help me, oh Lord.
Amen.
