A prayer for this evening

They say I need to write more positively, I say I need to see and hear less negativity, It surrounds me ! I ask thee what happened to mankind's dignity??? We've become so distant to our goals, World peace ! Further than ever, Ethnic majorities ! Further from each other, My brother, You're mind vs my mind vs his mind vs her mind, All kinds vs mankind, Some destined for eternal damnation, But me !!!! I've seen the light, Learned to adapt and overcome the "Hype" So let me ask you ! The reader ! About struggle and strife,,,,, What do you know about struggle and strife,? What do you know about living a rough life ? We seem to be paying the price of what our ancestors left behind, Trying to heal times from times gone by ! I want to apologize to those who sacrificed life in the name of peace and died, When will humanity ever get it right ? But still leaves the question why oh why ?oh? Why should one suffer due to another's demise ? Causing a landslide of divide from all walks of life,,,, It's never to late to put the wrongs right, Oh lord erase these dark times and shed some light ! Amen !ðŸ‘ðŸ»

Pointers as I see it with kind regards to the intent of referenced poem.
Point number 1: Much, Much too often is Pride Confused with Dignity.
Point number 2: Perhaps in order to Erase the Dark Times, there is a calling to trade in one's Pencil or Pen for an Eraser.
It has been said that it is a matter of fact that it has historically always been easier to destroy with materials than to Create with them!...
Well, why don't we start, by Mentally "Creating an ERASER, and start destroying the images and Ideas made up of vocabulary that contributes to the surrounding negativity??
If it needs to be more fundamental than that, then, perhaps would be in order an obedient formula for subtracting the "Negatively Mindful" things that we don't want, and replacing them with the "Counting" of Blessings.
Anytime we are released from a possible burden which has been lifted, or whenever we are delivered from a "Close call", that is the time to, from bended KNEE, (Spiritually, as intended toward true homage to Thee Almighty.) Count starting from the place where we were surprised to find
we no longer felt or feel the pressure or it has lessoned. Counting this as happening due to Thee, Almighty, Is a starting point to build upon when we need courage. Sometimes, having courage starts with a step of courage, In other words, Being Courageous causes courage to increase
exponentially, or simply put, doubling with every time it is applied correctly.
And may Rick's Heartfelt prayer that recognizes there is always that hope that shines in the darkness, And in inquiring about light in the Dark times, through a pleading and penitent heart, May the curtain through which we see dimly, be a light which is more bright than perhaps even those of us who see can realize. Then, when we meet up with that understanding, GOD FORBID that it should not lead to a more steady light. For thy WORD, (CHRIST'S) is a Lamp unto my feet and a light unto our Path.
The thought occurs that this is written in scripture originally as a personally
devoted passage, which can indicate and may reflect that when we start with ourselves, that has a special meaning to GOD, as if to mean He is saying that when we respect that passage in our OWN life, then it gives other's hope and courage to Endure Strife or Pain in order to elevate from a personal perspective to one of Ultimately and eventual Union, Should that be the Way the Lord Works it out!! We are reminded, In Bright Hope for tomorrow, Great is THY faithfulness, LORD, Unto ME.
God Please Bless
