We stand with you, Tlfeeron, in praying for an end to the gun violence in your neighborhood in Donna, TX. We ask and declare peace in Jesus' name. First we address the subject of prayer. Most do not know that it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God the Father. There is no other way. In John 14:6 (WEB) Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
It is important to remember that in 2 Timothy 3:1-4 (WEB) that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy. This is what we are experiencing in your neighborhood.
We thank you Tlfeeron for praying for justice. Let's remember to pray for the perpetrators as well, that they may be brought to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. As it says in Luke 23:34 (WEB), "Jesus said, 'Father, forgive them, for they don't know what they are doing.'" They said, "Let his blood be on us, and on our children!" We also learn from the scripture that sometimes we go through difficulties because of the actions of those who came before us. The actions of those who came before us is not just the immediate family but can go back as much as 10 generations. One only has to look at Deuteronomy 5:9 (WEB) to realize this. You shall not bow down yourselves to them, nor serve them, for I, WEB, your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me.
Now, let's pray together:
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we come before You, asking for Your divine protection and peace to cover the neighborhood in Donna, TX. Put out of business and bring to justice those who terrorize the community with gunshots. Turn their hearts towards You, that they may repent and find forgiveness and new life in Jesus Christ. Father God, we pray for this community so it may be a place where Your law, the law of love and peace of Christ is the law of the land, In Jesus Christ's name. Amen.
We encourage you, Tlfeeron, to continue praying and seeking God's will for your neighborhood. Also take action by reporting these incidents to local authorities, and consider organizing community efforts to address this issue.
