I am launching my new YouTube Channel, A Soul Care Minute to get the words of hope out to those who need a reminder that life matters, and we are not alone.

Thank you dear reader for supporting my work, and being here to listen to the cries of my heart. You presence here is what keeps me going.

Thank you for reading Christina Dammerman. This post is public so feel free to share it.

Transcript to the video:

Lord,

My soul Is heavy,

My eyes are downcast.

My feet feel as though there is no place solid and safe to set them.

Be my rock.

Be the lifter of my head.

Be the solid ground upon which I stand.

I need you to remind my soul the wicked will not prosper forever.

I must remember how close you are to the broken hearted, how near you are to the afflicted, and how you hear every cry of the oppressed.

You champion the poor, and long to do good to those who seek your face.

Remind me how you rebuked those who would forbid little children to be held by your arms. You said such were the kingdom of heaven.

So, I stand before you today for the children Lord.

Hear the cry of the oppressed in every factory, sweat shop and labor camp in which their tender lives are lived in crushing toil to feed the greed of nations. Help me to be satisfied with less, that my wants would not be satisfied at the expense of their innocence.

Hear the cry of the trafficked child torn from home and given to the lusts of men. Rescue them Lord. Heal their soul. Restore for them family, safety, love, Help my eyes to see the signs and help my hands to reach. Give me courage to advocate against a culture of perversion.

Hear the cry of the silenced, shamed, victims walking in the midst of our churches, our cities, our schools. Give them a voice Lord. Give me ears to hear.

Suffer the little children to come unto you today, for such is your kingdom, forever. Amen
