May the Lord make this prayer a reality for the "former" leadership in Fullerton and all to whom it applies.
Instead of reading "us" please read, "me".
Lord,
Give us tears, give us tears that issue from the Father's ultimate care for us. Give us tears issuing from His compassionate heart, tears of true repentance, tears of devastation, tears of brokenness, tears that wash away all our excuses, all our justifications. Give us tears that wet the very ground we stand on, many tears. Lord give us enough tears.
Lord, give us tears for Judy. Lord, break our hearts and heal us again. Give us the tears of fathers weeping for our children, for our wives and friends. Give us tears that wash away the darkness that has disguised the truth and allowed us to look away from this sin, this depravity.
Lord, give us tears for David. Lord give us tears that say effectively, there but for your grace. Tears that wash the log from our own eyes. Tears that remove the hatred not for the despicable acts but for his soul. Lord give us enough tears.
Lord, give us tears for George and all the Geftakys family. Tears that reflect your mercy that is great enough. Lord give us enough tears.
And when the tears are finished, Lord lift us up. Make us stand boldly, not heads high but humbly yet boldly against ourselves and boldly against the proliferation of this evil. Boldly to stand for right, to make restitution not by token but in completeness. Boldly to express your love. Lord, give boldness to attack the facades, the fakery that has and that is and that will surely rear it's head within us and others around us. Lord give us boldness to go out and seek forgiveness from all we've malligned - those who've been associated with us and all those in every community that seek You. Lord, your Love had no limits, how can ours? Help us.
