The Singing Rev

​Hello everyone  Thank you for stopping by.  At the moment I’m finding it increasingly difficult to watch the news.  It just seems so full of anger and sadness. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the Gaza war and the multitude of more bad news just makes me feel so down and depressed.   I don’t say this lightly as I know that there are many many people suffering and it saddens me to think of it. I’m so grateful to live in relative peace here in the UK and I know we are so blessed.  The thing with the war in Gaza is that I don’t even know how to pray. Do we pray for one side or the other?  Do we pray for Israel to win as they are Gods chosen people?  Do we pray for a ceasefire?  I just don’t know how to pray. And so I just pray Gods will is done.  I was asked today “where is God in all this war?”   The answer is I don’t know and to be honest I’ve asked myself the question too.  But the one thing I do know is God is saddened too...
