Tuesday, Fifth Week of Lent

Hear my prayer, O Lord; let my cry come to you. Psalm 102:1

We have become a world that is filled with much sickness. We pollute our bodies with so many chemicals, that our babies are born polluted. How is that possible, yet the food we eat is in a large part filled with chemicals for preservatives. Then we have the many over the counter drugs available to counteract the problems caused by the pollution in our bodies. So what is it we do, we begin to cry of our woes, our suffering, our pain. We pray for an answer to the problems that afflict us, we cry to the Lord to rescue us from our ills. Come, Lord Jesus make us well. But what happens when he makes us well, and we fill our bodies with more pollution, aren't we then the one's who have done more wrong, yet we cry to a good God that we need healing, when we know what has made us sick in the first place, but we didn't change it. This is how we treat sin, just as we treat our bodies, from what we fill it with. Hear our prayers, O Lord, let our cry come to you.
