Give chance to GMA to govern the country righteously
Catholic and Protestant leaders should continuously pray for peace, tranquility and political stability to reign in the Philippines. Daily protests should cease and give peace the chance to bring economic prosperity and happiness to the people. If Pres. Gloria Arroyo will not resign as demanded by all sectors of the community, this is her prerogative. Hence, any bloody confrontation to topple her from power should be avoided.
Anyway, GMA promises that she will step down after her term is completed in year 2010. Filipino leaders should look into the future of the Philippines and the welfare of more than 85 million Pinoys. Instead of shouting hurting words to the President and her equally adamant Cabinet members to resign, let's pray for them that the divine wisdom of God will be upon them. Let's give them a chance to govern the politically-troubled Philippines and save millions of our unemployed citizens, poverty-stricken poor, the dying sick and the malnourished children.
We are the only Christian nation in Asia and why not use the power of prayer unto God, turn from our wicked ways and seek His face. The Philippines needs healing for her unrighteousness and sins; through prayer, crying unto God and confess our sins, no doubt God will listen from heaven. The so-called peoples' power at EDSA seems to have lost its power and momentum. The EDSA advocates should change their tactics and probably, coming closer to God will make the difference.
Is there any guarantee that when Pres. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo steps down or resigns, her successor will do better? Glib-tongue politicians sermonizing at Plaza Miranda years ago said that "hungry mosquitoes" bite bitter than those inside the mosquito net. With millions of Filipinos now reportedly disgruntled with the way the incumbent President handles the affairs of the country, there is still a chance for her to reform. She has still two years to govern this politically stricken nation and with the aid of Divine Providence she will succeed. Let's not pray for the downfall or destruction of GMA. Rather let's pray to God that the President will be given the right mind, heart and soul to govern the Philippines honestly and righteously. Let's not cease praying to God our only hope in days ahead.
