Easter Prayer

Easter is here again, a time when we celebrate Jesus's sacrifice, His proof of an Afterlife, and His promise of Heaven. I imagine that I am not the only Christian that prays daily for His return. What better time for this to happen than Passover Week, the week God chose for the original Easter for many good reasons. Could His merciful deliverance be demonstreated once again, once and for all, for His suffering children during our most significant observance?

The most "humane" facility in Florida's DOC System (comparatively) is still a place of misery for this Christian, hence the name of this blog, "Purgatory Penman." I'm surrounded almost every waking moment by terrible examples of mankind given over to evil, a glimpse of hell for a normal, moral human being (I'm eternally grateful that is is the only hell I'll ever know). Although Jesus is always with me, this Paul does not have a Silas. It is a lonliness that aches in the core of your being like a cancer--an actual source of constant physical pain. Elements persecuting me because of the politics of my case have not relented in nine years of incarceration. I could not escape their abuse through eleven different camps. How many Christians today live like this where every day is a challenge to survive and see it through to the end, pleading with the Lord to deliver in an honorable and timely fashion?

Please pray that Jesus returns soon and rescues His people from the corruption. I understand that such evil beings and deeds are rampant in our society throughout the greater world today, like we have never known before.

Please appeal to the Lord's infinite mercy, demonstrated by His willingness to give His own life to save us from sin, that He will intercede now and save us from an unimaginable future. Amen.
