"This, then, is how you should pray: Our Father in heaven..." (Matthew 6:9)
"Our Father in heaven" is the One who gives beauty to replace our ashes, joy to replace our mourning, and praise to replace our despair. He has sent His Son Jesus to see that this is done.
"He has sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair." (Isaiah 61:1-3)
Political and religious differences of opinion divide humanity, they will never bring humanity together. It is depressing to me so I go to the Bible for encouragement. Jesus came into the world to introduce humanity to “Our Father in heaven”. All the political evil going on around us is simply preparing us all for the good that our Father is preparing for His family following this present wicked age.
"Surely you have heard about the administration of God’s grace that was given to me for you, that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly. In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, which was not made known to people in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets.This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus, of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named...For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name." (Ephesians 3:1-6, 15).
"There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all." (Ephesians 4:6)
God knows exactly what He’s doing. And He says that the best is yet to come!
“Behold, I make all things new...He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen." (Revelation 21:5; 22:20-21 )
