God wake us

-

Savenaca Vakaliwali­wa, Suva

Heavenly Father, please wake us up, especially drivers in Fiji to follow driving rules because no one wants to exit this earth prematurel­y through road accidents.

Every week and month of the year fatal vehicle accidents happen on our roads claiming innocent lives, but yet drivers keep speeding, disregard speed limits and ignore road rules or do not drive according to road and weather conditions.

I pray for those who recently lost their lives, those injured because of the threeway vehicle accident at Nabou and their family and friends who will have to bear the pain and loss of this tragic unforeseen departure.

Dear God, I pray that through this accident and unexpected tragic loss of innocent lives that You will wake the drivers up, instill fear and a sense of driving responsibi­lity to all of them. Father, this issue on speeding, reckless driving with an arrogant, no fear attitude among some drivers have been continuall­y raised by the Police and the Land Traffic Authority, but it seems to be falling on deaf ears. Lord please, only You can touch the hearts and bring conviction on all drivers, so that every time they sit behind the wheel, they will drive responsibl­y, so that no more unnecessar­y loss of innocent lives happen on their watch. Thank You Lord for speaking to drivers through this humble prayer and letter and help us to have a saving relationsh­ip with You, because we all do not know when our time expires. Amen.
