Somalia

There are times when I am too overwhelmed by the complexity of a situation and I do not want to pray to God because I am afraid that my words are too simple, too inadequate, too narrow for the multitude of factors that can be prayed for. Sometimes I do not want to pray, because I don't quite trust God when He says that the most important thing is not that people have food and clothes and shelter, but that they know Him. Other times, I cannot pray, because my heart is bleeding, and the sorrow drowns my thoughts.

Somalia, I am sorry.
