- Have you prayed today?
- I was at the Platform 10.0 last week, an annual event organized by the wonderful leadership and people at CCC. The theme for this program was tagged 'Cultural innovation...Native intelligence going global'. It was a call to look inwards to see how well we could redefine and reinvent ourselves as individuals, businesses, communities and as a nation.
- We were admonished to see 'westernization' as an experiment and not a lifestyle to follow 'zombie-like' because on the surface it looks like change but change at what cost? Do we have to trade our values in the name of progress? Should we throw away the beautiful and enterprising aspects of identity and culture under the guise of development? Food for thought but I digress...
- I remember specifically that one of the speakers at the event wanted us to pray for our country and this was the prayer:
- "O God of creation
Direct our noble cause
- Guide our leaders right
- Help our youth the truth to know
- In love and honesty to grow
- And living just and true
- Great lofty height attain
- To build a nation where peace
- And justice shall reign."
- A prayer indeed! I long to see the day when we live in the reality of these words as a people. Don't you?
- Have you prayed today?
