"I fear for the people of poorer nations who have to suffer at the everchanging whim of an overpowering capitalist system where the bottom line is all that matters. I pray for God's kingdom come, on earth as it is in heaven."
t is great to see the concern and passion of what Matt Martinson writes here and also the prayer he closes with which draws things together. I think that we need to be seeing so much more of the way this world is run in the perspective of God's kingdom agenda, and I applaud him making these links.
Praying the Pattern does deal with the issues of prayer and lifestyle in a networked globalised world where God's providential systems are being so distorted that it is hard to see how some people's prayers for daily bread might be answered. So if this intrigues you, you might want to visit here.
