Mercy [ Habakkuk 3 v 2 ]

I was struck by something I read recently by D. A. Carson in his book ,Scandalous, he said that one of the hardest truths to get across to this generation ,is what the Bible says about sin. This could be because so many people do not take into account what the Bible says,the spiritual needs of our younger generation ,have been ignored, and neglected by the older generation. As I consider the street I live in, and indeed the area I live in, so very few are Christians, so few go to church,so few consider that they have a never dying soul. Again on the subject of sin,D.A.Carson ,writes about the culture we live in,defining its own sin, this is so true, the result of this, is becoming more and more serious. What can possible change this ?,I believe the answer is prayer, a prayer for revival, a prayer that will cause God to pour out His Spirit upon our land,a prayer that God will show mercy, to this nation that has forsaken God,and turn them to Christ. [Dear God ,You who are holy,and righteous,have mercy upon the many who are blind to their spiritual needs, have mercy upon the many who have chosen their way,and forsaken Your way ,in Jesus name Amen ]
