Selma is in need a healing touch
Lord, Selma is in need of a healing touch from you.
Please touch us and strengthen Selma to endure.
The soul of our city is wrenched with sin and pain.
Lord, please touch us and make Selma whole again.
Please allow Selma to depend on no one but you.
Only because your mercy and grace, will we be able to continue.
Please give Selma all the strength that we really need.
Guide us no matter where the future path may lead.
Lord, we are placing all our trust and hope in you
We know you will be there to bring Selma through.
Comfort each of us with the healing touch of your hand.
Lord, touch Selma and I know we will be whole again.
Lord, we sincerely desire to be touch by you.
We have tried so hard to you to always remain true.
Because of the lures of sin we have fallen on life’s pathway.
Lord, please forgive our sins and wash the stain away.
Lord, Selma is in need of a healing touch from you.
Please touch us and make Selma whole again.
The soul of our city is wrenched with sin and pain.
Lord, please touch Selma and make us whole again.

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus, the Christ,
Although, I am no longer a resident of the city of Selma, this city will always remain close to my heart. Because of the love and help I received from many citizens of Selma like the members of Green Street Missionary Baptist Church, the good people of SelmAir, and my friends and family in Uniontown, Greensboro, Marion, and Selmont, it greaved my spirit when I read the article. Please rest assured that I and all of my friends and prayer partners across the United States and on the internet will be praying for the situation in Selma.
As always, may God bless each of us,
Pastor Reginald Levi Walker

eyeonyou,
As important as the representation of these various organization are to the well being of the city of Selma, please let us not be fooled into thinking that the mere presence of the organizations alone can solve this crisis. This has been and continues to be the downfall in our thinking in America. We can create many organizations and church buildings. We can hire many talented and experienced people and place them in leadership. However, in order for true change to come to our communities, we, the people, must decide to come from behind the safety of our enclosures and venture out into the field and do our part.
In the Scripture quoted by Mayor George Evans, God issued an appeal to the people. He was not speaking to the organizations, elected officials or church buildings. God was speaking directly to the people. By this, he means each of us individually. This is the same with the crisis in Selma, Alabama, America, and the world. We, the people, must stop relying on our organizations to do the work that God assigned to our hands to do. We, the people, must emerge from behind the safety of the walls of our self-righteous opinions and lives. We can no longer afford to separate ourselves from our hurting brothers and sisters. We must come and help to stop their pain. We must reach out to those that by their crimes and trouble making are crying out for help. We must help them in order to help Selma.
Since, we inhabit the communities where the problems are, why not just go next door and we help someone to overcome the crisis that they face. Most crimes committed can be deterred. They are committed because the criminal feel that because of their crisis they have no chose. They reason that their families must be feed. They reason that the bills must be paid. They, therefore, reason that they will solve their crisis anyway they can because no one came to offer them any help or another choice. However, imagine how many crimes can be deterred. Imagine the number of deaths that can be avoided. Imagine the blessings that God would bestow upon Selma if those that God saved to go into the byways and highways of life will come from behind the walls of their homes, church buildings, and organizations and get to work.
The harvest is plenteous, but the laborers are few. Therefore, I pray to God that the laborer will finally come out to the fields and get to work. Nevertheless, be warned, the time is quickly approaching when no will be able to work. Then, we, the people, will have to stand before God and give an acceptable reason why we did not do the job that He assigned to our hands to do. Unfortunately, God does not accept excuses.
As always, may God bless each of us,
Pastor Reginald Levi Walker
On Home + prayer= nonviolence
