Thank You for the Man

Lord thank you for a man who is dedicated to justice. Thank you for a man who has kept his head about him when it seems as if all others are just plum crazy. Thank You God for giving him the ears of those who can make a real difference. I pray Lord that he is able to voice the real problems and that together they are able to come up with a concrete solution, proposition a start for improvement. Lord I don't expect an all together final plan but something must come out of this that give hope and direction. Everyone must be involved. We all take blame in this catastrophe. We all have a hand in making it better. We are treating the behavior, the outcome, violence. We have to treat the reason for the violence. There are so many factors for the violence, we have to spend less time pointing fingers and more time working together. Stop this constant bleeding of money. These SES programs are funded but with poor attendance. Why aren't the students coming. They don't want to walk home in the dark. Its dark by 5pm in the winter and they say they wont come to a program that lets out that late. Why cant we provide some sort of bus transportation to ensure that they get home safely? Get some more counselors in the schools. Children have so much hate and anger about every little thing. I constantly have requests from children to see the counselor. For reasons from the death of a parent, friend, relative, family illness. These children have problems and no real coping mechanisms to handle them. I just thank God for you. I thank God that you care and you continue to care. Thank you God for a caring and loving man. Lord allow him to rest tonight and to wake refreshed and renewed. Give him the words to say and the ability to work together for a solution. Let him be successful in his endeavors. Show him love, let him express what needs to be said in a clear and concise method that is understood by all. Guide his thoughts and let his words be your words. May God bless you tonight and always.
