Great is your mercy, O Lord; give us life according to your justice.
Our leader cannot, will not, show mercy and compassion to widows.
How could you, O Lord, allow such a soulless man be our leader?
Would you cut out his heart of stone and give him a heart of flesh?

O Lord, provide for those who are hurting—the oil of gladness instead of mourning.

Field Notes On The Jesus Way 
I wish she could receive this – I know it would be a comfort. If you have to ask someone what to say it is probably better not to say anything. If words do not come from a heart of compassion they mean nothing and, as in this case, can be very offensive.

“Let every person be subject to the governing authorities.” Romans 13:1
I’m very aware of the ones that say pray for them, however.
I will pray for our leaders and call others to do the same.
