Prayer of the Heart

Some acts are unspeakable…there are no words.  Yet life continues and nature goes about its job of healing the human heart.  As human beings it is difficult to understand what higher influences are at work.  We can only believe that there is some purpose to our suffering.  We never know what the future will bring and we can only do our best by setting a good example. Beyond this, we are powerless to intervene in the bigger picture.

We can take little steps, in hopes that we can mitigate some human suffering, but we cannot know how much of it will change the outcome. We can try to use free will and foresight and believe that this will have some impact on the outcome for mankind.  But, there are no guarantees.

Although the world undergoes some events that we all become a part of, we should try to maintain our optimism and perspective.  We cannot see the whole picture and we cannot judge the significance of any act.

We can only hope that our short time on earth is not without purpose.
