LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Prayer for our nation

Dear Editor May I be permitted to offer this prayer for our nation?

Heavenly Father,

Are we following the path of Haiti?
Are we reliving History?
Are we fulfilling /facilitating prophecy?
Do we as a nation have a lot to repent to you?
Are we on the verge of being severely punished for what we have done, failed to do or condoned?
Are we to be punished for prostitution of all kinds?
For sacrificing the souls and minds of our youth? Have we been going against the teaching ‘feeding the dogs at/under the table’ then using the same hand to feed the children?
Have we not created a never before witnessed prevalence of mental illness through a culture of dependency, low self esteem, alcoholism and drug abuse?
Has this attack not been aimed at our young males and strategically targeting the productive, the independent and silencing the press?

What lessons have you shown us from our brothers and sisters suffering in Haiti? As a boy I Haiti to be the most beautiful of the Caribbean islands. What happened?

Did not Satan use France and baby Doc (now in exile there) as a political idol, using dirty money, witchcraft and mental slavery and divide & rule to rob Haiti of its resources by remote control from France?

You have taught us that  adult principles are formed by his environmental influences of his 1st few years of life.

Is not our French PM giving away Da’s: Territorial waters, energy, water, mountains/Tera (An acting PM called it: “we are helping our neighbors”) telecommunications, tourism, retail, manufacturing…Have they convinced our population that our resources are of no value to the nation?

Even at the expense of the mental and physical health of its school children and entire villages. (asbestos, silica, asphalt and even encouraging blind idol worshipers to on mass rainy rallies in the midst of pandemic H1N1 flue)

Are we too proud to repent for the many Haitians who perished in the greed of human trafficking through Da?
Are we now Dangerously Courting heavily militarized superpowers all eagerly using psychological warfare to colonize, infiltrate and control us?

Was it not five times Dominica changed hands between the PM’s French motherland and the British both fighting for our lumber and water under the pretence of saving our Kalinago and Neg maroon from the other?

Father is it not true that Today much more is at stake?

Doesn’t Venezuela now boast to own the entire Caribbean sea?  Is it because we are giving them Bird Island as a military/naval post? Is it not that they are unable to store fuel on Bird Island, so Jimmit, with its uniquely sheltered deep water is a strategically convenient naval submarine and battleship refueling depot? Is this not critical for the recently acquired billions of Dollars in naval and military equipment recently purchased from Russia?

Was that why the then minister of national security made 91 of his own constituents lose their employment at Colgate Palmolive?

Did he not publicly tell the US ambassador she made a dumb statement? Was he that naïve or did he deliberately sacrificed his constituents?

Was it to limit the number of eyes on the night shift?

Did they not know fully well that manufacturing goods for Human consumption could not be conducted downwind of the fuel storage fumes?

Was it intentional China uses our relationships with others to penetrate the market and populate?

Is France frantically after our energy, minerals(stock piled in Guadeloupe) and fishing grounds? Did ‘our’ French PM not sign over our geothermal energy to the Russians and French? Is ‘our’ French PM doing his mandatory French military service? Why is a self professed scout knowingly endangering the health of the girls guides, scouts, school children at saint Mary’s primary school to the hazard of asbestos? And villagers of Layou, st.Jo, Tarou, Pt. Michelle, Loubiere, Colihaut to the harmful effects of the quarry dust? And his Jim Jones like idol worshipers (to H1N1) drunk on red…riding dangerously in open trucks on rainy days across the island? What are the definitions of genocide and treason? Are we guilty?

Are we like the unrepentant Israelites…about to be pounced on by the massive military might of ‘Babylon’?

While we realize that we have sinned, and are unnoticeably caught deep between superpowers, nuclear powers and those aspiring to be.

Are we going to be like Elijah who could rely on the fiery Chariots of angels?

Lord have we ignored your warnings? Punishment such as failing coconut, Banana  and citrus crops, recent infestation of Red palm mite, Giant African snail…the songs of your Mountain Chicken are no more…You rumble and Shake us with your ever increasing earthquakes and freak hurricanes of Lenny, Dean and Omar…Lord are we too proud to accept and repent? Have we forgotten your mighty wrath of David?

What can we do?  As our grand parents taught us, We can kneel and pray. Humbling ourselves, seeking
your forgiveness?  Can we ask forgiveness for:

The Haitians we allowed to perish while being trafficked?
The weekly youth turn Paro?
The pagan religions we allowed in God’s land?
The idol worship?
The highest teen drug use in the Caribbean?
For wrongfully teaching our youth that Sodomy is sex?
Making heroes of those who live in sin?
For the record high incest and child abuse?
For those we exploit?
For taking advantage of persons who have sought refuge in our land Rather than we
offering to show them your salvation?
For choosing money over integrity?…
For following politicians rather than you?

Lord we pray that you open our eyes.

Amen

    But even then, I was starting to think that I really wanted to try my hand at writing a novel. It took me a few years to sit down and actually start writing fiction. It took even longer to get it published.

    So true the words of this prayer.

    Was this not prophesied in Revelation?

    Does the RED DRAGON has certainly joined with the WHORE of Babylon…?
    Is this also happening in the Caribbean?

    i fully understand your question -But I am reminded what the Bible says – ” GOD DOES ALL THINGS WELL ”
    He sets up Government and HE puts them down, so Mr PM bear in mind that their is a Greater and Higher being and its certainly not you ! ! !

    Please be a little more grateful… You seem to criticise everything. You seem like one who does not want to see another person prosper in life. Please stop the hate and spread some luv instead.

    Don’t you listen to the news on what is happenning around the world?

    Where was the water polluted with oil?

    So long citrus dead .. You must be dreaming. Figs also – remember what is happenning around the world Stop listennig to gossip and make some meaningful contribution like what crops one can turn to replace citrus and the fig. Bring out the hero – positiveness within you and make a meaningful contribution to our leaders and also the opposition.

    The man in Vieille Case you seem to be grudging. Look to building something for yourself even is buying a few blocks, steel at a time. you can do it litttle by little. Start with a one bedroom/bath/toilet… You can make it I am sure you can with that enery you have. Use the energy positively.

    An expanded Helicopter pad crap – You can’t be even grateful for one step forward from the helicopter tiny to an expanded one.

    You are very negative.

    Give thanks for small things so larger things can come thru. Our Father doesn not like an ungrateful person.

    May the peace of our Heavenly Father envelope you and give you peace of mind and clarity, so u can start to enjoy the little things and may he add joy to your life and break the curse of digruntleness/low self esteem over you. May he build your self esteem so you will think highly of yourself and will enjoy seeing your brother and sister excell in life. When you phew out blessings then the same will return to you.

    Be Blessed

    Happy DAgirl, Foolishness, Fyre pon evildoers – I like your comments. Please ppl let us speak peace with our mouth. Enough of this negative talk. Let us really continue to pray for our Leaders and even the opposition because in a peaceful country we will leave at peace. PPL let us love one another because if we do we will not lambace nor scandalise one another. When we talk about something let us do it with dignity recognising that the person is also a Human Being.

    DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD LIKE THEM TO DO TO YOU – The golden rule

  8. December 23, 2009

    Dumb_me in can, first of all u need to go back to preschool and learn to spell.Give the PM a break in his life, look out for yourself cause he knows where he stands.If you were a Prime minister wouldn’t you build your house? dumb ***, by the do u see what name you calling yourself? I bet you were one of them inside that clinic, if he was ignoring people what would you all say huh?You must be blind if you can’t see the progress. Pray for the country who ever you are and let their be peace in the country of Dominica.And as for that supreme being get this in your head God is always with us no matter what the situation is, he is always their. The prime minister got a lot of prayers and blessings also the rest of the parliamentary representatives, serious blessings.May the good Lord continue to bless them and keep them away from harm and evil doers.

    The Bible advocates praying for your leaders whether you are in support or not. At the end of the day, Dominica is our home. It does not belong to any individual or party. Our passport says Commonwealth of Dominica and that is where our focus should be now that the elections have come and gone. Put down the colours and get back to work. Dominicans are too political. And my dear, do not play with God. Bless Dominica, and not curse it. Big up to the person who recall the story of Balaam. When the LORD has blessed someone or something, NO MAN CAN CURSE IT.

    When people have prayers, why don’t they say it in Private rather than
    making a mockery of themselves, sure it is a good gesture to pray.

    Why do you call this a pray for the Nation,? It is you’re concept of what you want for the Nation, based on you’re religious beliefs, Political Ideology and thinking. Why would you want God to make a whole Nation subscribe to what you think is moral and good based on you personal and religious beliefs, isn’t that what you’re calling on God to do.

    Why don’t we start with ourselves, and just ask God to make us better individuals, and by so doing we can collectively be a better Nation rather than asking God to make the Nation in our individual liking,
    based on personal beliefs, religious beliefs and Political ideology.

    Let us really pray now:

    Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus I rebuke every destructive and ignorant word proclaimed about our Beloved Country Dominica. I speak Life, Peace, Prosperity, Love, Excellence, Unity, Development, Abundance in the lives of every Dominican whether at home or abroad. We rebuke every devourer, and pray your blessings on our Country., all Labourites, UWP and Freedomites, Independents and even those who did not exercise their right to vote.

    Thank you Lord, for your protection over us even when we did not deserve it. Help us to heal as a nation, put aside our differences and work towards the good of our country. In Jesus name we pray Amen.

    NP: Rain falls on every man’s house, so when we wish bad for Dominica, I’m just wondering where the bad will fall, if it will only fall on the DLP house or on all houses. Stop the nonsense.

    This artcle could not be written better than that. As Pop Benedicts XV1 said ” unemployment for long periods of time and being dependent on public and private assistance, this undermines the freedom and creativity of the person and his family causing great psychological and spiritual suferring.

  17. December 22, 2009

    Hey you have the audacity to call this a prayer for our nation. You have not said any things that brings glory to our Heavenly Father. Only negative talk. Repent and give thanks to our Heavenly Father from all good and loving things come. Rise from this negative talk syndrome and give thankd and Praise. I need to read more positive things. I will have to stop reading these articles since I do expect to lift my spirit if I feel down. Do we have to display our low self esteem ever so often. Because we do not want our brothers/sister to be better than us? Let us rise and shine.

    “Was that why the then minister of national security made 91 of his own constituents lose their employment at Colgate Palmolive?”

    Did you really say this? QWhy are you so mischievous. ….. Eh Lass Papa Shower your blessing on this land and we paray that the wicked will turn from their wicked ways so the land will be spared. …. This really hurts. Are we not a loving people.

    As I said in anotherforum, please stop using yoru tongue in an unbecoming manner. Use the tongue wisely. This land is blessed. Are we being ungrateful? Why do some persons only speak negative. Dwell on the positive and give thanks and praise to the Most High so we can reap and receive many mor blessings. We can seem to be grateful for all the good we do receive. Don’t you listen to the news. If Dominica is so bad (as you puport this to be) give to place to some unfortunate person elswher on this world and excahange stay in their country for awhile whilst these person enjoy what you take for granted.

    Blessings upon this land.

    The person who penned that prayer is evil. That is taking the name of the Lord in vain. Remember Balaam he went to curse the children of Israel but the curse fell on him. Be carefull what u wish for others.

  20. December 22, 2009

    Thank you for your prayer and may the good Lord continue to bless Dominica and give you three times what you wish for in your so-call prayer. Election is over accept the results and lets all go back to work as one and unite. Everything that happened to Haiti they have themselves to blame don’t compare our blessed Dominica with any other country.
    And after ready your prayer yourself I think you must repent.

    But what if we go about with eyes wide shut, what if we are aware but for the love of tribal politics and cult personality, we choose to ignore? There is action in inaction and whatever gained, there’s something lost.
