Last time I went to Haiti when we first got there we sat in a devotional circle and prayed. I was at a loss for words and I didn't know what to say or what to ask of God when it was my turn.
I found the best thing I could ask of God to show me was in the words to the song "Hosanna" and that was "...break my heart for what breaks Yours..." I realize now that's a big thing to ask. If we ask to feel how God feels about the thing's that break His heart we will experience heartache ourselves...it's bittersweet in a sense because it is sometimes emotionally painful to care and feel compassion about the things I see in Haiti, but it's these people and things that matter to Him and therefore matter to me. And in the grand scheme of things it's a privilege to be able to be compelled to care about them.
