I was recently most encouraged last week when I gathered together with hundreds of other people from the surrounding neighborhoods and listened to the earnest prayer of the one who began the meeting.
He prayed for our streets, our children and schools and for the restoration of brotherly love in Philadelphia. It is only God who awakens within us a hatred for sin and a yearning for a complete transformation of heart, mind and soul in His people.
At that moment, I sensed a unity with my neighbors in the desire for change...and the hope that change can and will come because God has heard the cry from the multitude of voices in West Oak Lane.
He hears the cry of the many.
He hears the cry of a few.
He hears the cry of--you.
"I waited patiently for the Lord; He turned to me and heard my cry." Psalm 40:1
