'A Harsh And Perverted Leader.'
Exodus 5:5.
a) And Pharaoh said:
b) "Look,
c) "The people of the land are many now,
d) "And you make them rest from their labour!"
(This QT exposes a Harsh And Perverted Leader)
PRAY: That our Nations and Churches be free from Harsh And Perverted Leaders.

'How Long?'
Psalm 13:2.
a) How long should I take counsel in my soul,
b) Having sorrow in my heart daily?
c) How long will my enemy be exalted over me?
(Through this Second one I clearly understand the Psalmists cry: "How Long?")

Chris.
This is a good time to pray for anyone whom we may know that is praying this Prayer: "How Long?" To carry sorrow in one's heart daily is a most painful and weakening experience! The pure compassion of the Church is one of her most important functions at this time. This compassion is more important than any other 'people-focused' part of the Church. Pure compassion also feeds the hungry people, the picture is a good example of this.
