Psalm 72:1 Endow the king with your justice, O God, the royal son with your righteousness.
When was the last time you asked God to fill someone with the Holy Spirit so they could rule with justice?

We need to ask God for more positive things and fewer revenges...
Psalm 122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: May those who love you be secure.
As we see the fighting continue between Israel and Palestine we cannot hope but pray for peace.

God has given each of us abilities which are unique and personalised for us.
Be brave and rely on what God has given you to move forward with the gospel!
