I Feel Like Moses

Moses said to the LORD, "Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue." Exodus 4:10
I feel like Moses as in the verse above where Moses is telling God that he has never been eloquent, Moses is slow of speech. I have never like talking to a group of people. In a crew meeting or some sort of work-related meeting, I would not want to speak. One supervisor called me the quiet one. When I was 18 years old and I had left home. I was staying with a young couple named Gary and Betty. they really weren't that much older than me but they took me in. I remember needing to talk to them as I lived in their home. I was so afraid to speak up. I would count to ten and on ten I would tell myself I am going to begin talking. Maybe I was going out of town or something, I don't remember what it was but I needed to speak to them and at least tell them I would be gone for the day. It was so hard for me to speak up. Here I am a grown man now, in fact, I am in my senior years. I feel God laid this prayer thing on my heart and I think why me? I want to invite the different pastors and their congregations to meet together for prayer for our nation and our town. I have no authority, how do I ask Pastors to support this? We have a group of men that meet for coffee daily at Hardee's. Most are conservative and most are Christian. But we have at least one died in the wool liberal. He thinks Trump is the worst President there ever was. He is a Christian man and has a servant's heart.  He carries people to the doctor that needs a ride. He delivers meals on wheels and is Christian in many of his action but we are so opposed in our political thinking. I do not doubt his Christianity. I am just as strong in my belief that Trump is the best President in my lifetime. One day this week when I was not there two of these old men, I am talking men in their late 70's and early 80's were ready to take it outside and duke it out. It may sound funny and would have been even funnier to watch, but that is how heated and loud it got.  But that is just an example of the serious divide we have in our country today. And Christians are on both sides of this issue. Both sides think they are right.  Christians are supposed to be loving and even love their enemies. How have we gotten so bad in our country today that we cannot disagree with each other and keep it civil? That is why I believe the faith community needs to lead the way and pray together for God's intervention in our nation.  We of all people need to be able to come together across our denominational divides and pray for God to intervene in our nation. I'll not lie to you, I think I am right in the way I believe. But so does the other guy. Christians are on both sides of this issue. If we cannot show enough love to come together and unite in prayer for our nation, I believe our nation is doomed. I am wanting to get the faith community to gather together in prayer for our town and our nation once a month in a community prayer. We need to invite God back in. We as a society have told God to get lost, we can handle this. We can handle our own affairs. If you look at the divide and the terrible things that are being said, we are not doing such a good job. We need God's intervention in our land no matter who is right.  We need unity of purpose for the good of our nation. We do not think alike and never have.  But why have we come to blows with one another?  This is not right. We really need God's help if this nation is to survive. I believe both sides believe our nation is in trouble. I feel like Moses trying to make this happen.  God bless, LVZ.
