What can we say to people in such deep grief? How can we say something succinct and brief? How can we show the love of Jesus? In such things that devastates and grieves us Oh, Lord help me show your mercy
Those poor children whose lives are now cut short Those poor parents whose lives are now fraught With grief, tears, anger and hopelessness How do we help them in their helplessness? Oh, Lord help me show your mercy
How can we talk to those who are in such pain? How can we, of your love, try to explain? Their hearts are broken, shattered beyond repair How do we show them that you are there? Oh, Lord help me to show your mercy

When in our trials and tribulations we feel your touch But those who have senselessly lost may not know you much Oh Lord we ask and pray that they might come to know Your love and peace in them may ever grow Oh Lord help me show your mercy p

Venezuela is immersed under a government that is violating the Human Rights of its citizens. Until today 27th of May, the people of Venezuela have been protesting on the streets of every city big and small for 56 days, there have been 59 dead including children( students). As Christians let’ s pray for a positive response from the government of Maduro to listen to his people and stop the unlawful killing of innocents that are asking for food, medicines, jobs, and freedom. Pray for the armed forces to support the restarting of democracy in Venezuela. Pray for God’ s strength to be the force that drives Venezuelan people and that they will acknowledge His presence and His ways in the middle of these difficult days. The people are facing starvation with the lack of food supplies.
Ecuador is under a government with the same ideology as Venezuela, but are few years behind. If we do not Pray now, one day Ecuadorians may be in the same situation if the political scenario doesn’ t change in South America. p
