a man on the moon

Just watched 'In the Shadow of the Moon.'

These 2 guys that walked on the moon, Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong, took something very special away from them when they viewed Earth from the moon - how incredibly small we are in the universe. Something else that Neil spoke about was how he just didn't understand how in the slightest bit any of life or purpose could be a complete accident. I tend to agree with him, and I honestly I don't even care if I'm wrong when I die. When I cease to think that this planet was put here for a reason, that the people that inhabit it are just circumstance, it makes me not even care to be a part of it or to even try to contribute. Why would I care about the well being of the planet I live on or even the people that dwell on it if there wasn't a purpose for me as I lived here? Morals would be nullified and I would roam the land only savaging for food and shelter - but this is .000001% of the purpose of humans. Sure we need food and shelter to live, but what else do we need to strive as humans? We need purpose. We were given intelligence, whether it was intelligence evolved from a single celled organism to what we are today, or some other form of creation. We were created in the eyes of a Maker, and that Creator is God Almighty. Natural selection and evolution have a purpose. This universe has a purpose, or it wouldn't be here. Existence in itself has purpose. The absence of existence is non-purpose and nothingness.

Lord, I have doubted your presence for almost a year now. I have encountered days of heartache, disappointment and thoughts of emptiness and isolation. I have cried out to you o Lord, wanting to see your face in the simplest of things. Generations have come to pass, and we are still left with wonder and amazement of your Being. Mockers shall mock us as from the dawn of man. Let the disbelievers live their lives in disbelief. Let the believers rejoice in the life you have given. Let the believers know that they have a purpose in You. Here I am, part of a new generation of believers and disbelievers. I am surrounded by those of faith and those of doubt. I beg of you Lord, to show me the path You have set before me. I beg of You to show me Your glory, to show me Your love, and to show me Your compassion. In a world filled with murder, hatred, violence, injustice, envy, anger, wrath, destruction, lust and greed, I ask for you to let your Light shine upon our human race. I ask Lord for you to show yourself to those who know not of you, and to those who know of you and have turned away, to turn again to you. Hear my prayer Lord, and grant me wisdom in You. Give me a child's faith and a heart after You. Let my thoughts and actions have a purpose in You.
