A Prayer To Banish Anger From The Earth

NOTE: When you read this prayer, try to imagine hearing my voice as I speak
it to you.  In this way, the prayer is reactivated, and it is the same
as if I were actually praying for you at that moment.
(Just like television prayers are reactivated when you watch 
them, although the videotape may have been shot years before.)

NOTE: This prayer, today, is written as a collective prayer, for all of us
      to pray whenever we are moved to do so. Recently on Family Radio, 
      I heard a missionary in Peru express his belief that the Lord
      restrains Himself from acting in human affairs *unless* we pray
      for Him to act. If true, this is a stunning concept, and it would
      suggest that we should pray more actively for the Lord to intervene
      in human affairs, confident that the Holy Spirit will lead us 
      to pray in a manner consistent with His will.

              
                "A Prayer To Banish Anger From The Earth"

                Perhaps there was a time when man did need
                A way to pump adrenalin inside,
                To get us ready fast to fight or flee,
                From animals or enemies at hand.
                And if so, maybe anger had its place.
                
                But now it seems that anger is a curse,
                Which causes far more harm than it does good.
                For rarely do we need to flee from lions,
                But often are we harmed by angry men.
                And so we pray that You will hear us now,
                And grant this new request that now we make:
                Please banish, Lord, all anger from the earth:
                Just dry it up, and make it blow away,
                And let it nevermore come back to us.
                We know that You can do this if You wish,
                And now we pray You make it come to pass.
                Forgive us if we seem to ask too much,
                But we, Your children, need this help from You.
                In Jesus' name we pray for this, Amen.
