Dear God In Heaven:
Women are by nature expected to exhibit the virtues of mothers in all respects as far as social interactions are concerned. Women are understandably the mothers of all men. Hence, they are expected to share the concerns of people and seek to safeguard the welfare of others.
Believably this is the prime reason that led to the election of President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf to lead the Liberian nation the first time after years of men rule. It was expected generally that the president and all other women now at the fore front of political power would water down the longstanding anger of the people of country, neutralize social tension and establish comfort in the hearts of the children of Liberia. But Lord, what we see is the contrary-a glaring contrary that continues to evolve the frequency of frustration, disappointment and grief in the hearts of men who work with these women, either as under men or as bosses.
For instance, the women in government are arrogant, selfish, wicked, flamboyant, authoritative, abusive, explosive, and politically harmful. Lord, we the concerned citizens of the Republic of Liberia, judging from the examples of these women, and convinced that they are meaningless when it comes to national reconciliation consideration. Thus we wish to withdraw our confidence earlier reposed in them. Lord, with the backing of President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, they have no regard for men who work with them. They are corrupt and would exhibit don't care attitudes at work places. They are like thorn that hurts when it drops on the body and vice versa. Lord, we pray against them and hope men would cease to disregard their ambition for leadership.
We pray against them because they hide behind the president to disrobe men who work with them from their jobs. They have proven to be retaliatory, vindictive and revengeful thereby contaminating the reconciliation drive of the nation. Lord hear our prayer and heal the wounds they continue to inflict on the hearts of men in the country. In your mighty name-AMEN. |
