how long O LORD?

10/25/10 I was reading today from the first verses of Habakkuk where he asks, "O LORD, how long shall I cry for help, and you will not listen?" I was crying out in my prayer/walking time this morning: How long will the prodigals stay gone? How long will there be fighting in the Holy Land? How long will there be suffering with cancer, AIDS, etc.? How long will injustice, greed, hatred, prejudice, etc. seem to dominate? How long will we avoid facing evil? How long will we medicate our feelings, give in to distracting entertainment, etc.?

And then I thought about how long the LORD has put up with us and our sins. I gave thanks for God's long-suffering love.

Love,
Lynn
