My Heart Aches for Us

      My heart aches for us, when I hear about all the suffering that the people of the world are going through. I am sadden by the unfairness that we have to live with everyday. I want our lives to be better. I want our happy days to out number the sad ones. Why does it have to be like this? Why does the human race always seem to be bring down evil upon one another instead of a blessing. Why does our minds even dwell on the ways in hurting others? Please, God help us to change before every heart has grown cold.
     I know we can do much better but are we even trying. Does every man, woman, and child need to suffer? Is every stranger an enemy in our eyes? If we are not related by blood, race or religion, do we deserve to be treated badly? Where has our love gone O God and how can we get it back? Let my heartache come to an end. I know God that you will someday bring all this badness to a end but in the mean time watch over us and protects us if you can.
     I want nothing but goodness for us. I want to see our children happy and not afraid. Fear has somehow grip our minds and our souls and made our trust in each other to grow less. Our fear has isolated us from other people and made us sad, angry, and lonely. It has made our heart to be closed off to love. Who can we love if we fear that someone might hurt us? When did our fear replace our love? It is a shame that fear has such a great hold upon our world.
     I do wish that our world will change somehow so that we can have our peace and some security in our lives. I do not want us to be to afraid to love one another but to keep our hearts opened just a little wider so that we can still love. I will keep on praying to God so to help us. I will try to do my best to hold up under my suffering so it does not break me. I will do my best to try to see the good in our world so that sadness does not rule over my mind. I do hope that our world will change for the better so that my heartaches will be less. I can take comfort that if I do have an heartache it means that I do still care.
