Lead into prayer

Du you know the feeling, when you're suddenly touched by something and you feel, you have to pray?
Today I had this feeling several times.
Because I wanted to be home from church early today, I took a taxi. And while we drove I asked the taxidriver how much money he earns a day. Well, he saif it depends on his luck, how many people he could drive. Per day he has to pay for having the car, that is 20 Soles (around 6 Dollars) and of course he has to pay the gas. And it takes a lot of his day to at least drive in that money. He told me on a bad day he earns around 8 Soles (3Dollars), what he can keep for himself. On a good day maybe around 35 to 40 Soles (11-13 Dollars). And that really hit me. The taxistas have working times between 14 and 18 hours, sometimes more, and they get starvation wages.
Then I really had to pray that God may change peruvian economics for the better.
My taxista wanted 4 Soles for the ride, I got him go down to 3 Soles. After the ride I gave him 5. It was nice to see a smile on his face, that was so serious before.

The next time was in the late afternoon.
I've been to the centre to get some cash and afterwards I just walked around a little. And as I went through the park of the plaza de armas I recognized two groups.
At first a chanting group of Hare-Krishna, who demonstrative happy advertised for their wrong religion. It immediately made me sad, that they are on a completely wrong way and don't have any clue of it. I had to pray for them right there, that God opens their hearts so that they can see the truth.

Just a few meters from them was a group of political activists who were just packing up their stuff. Just some minutes before I had heard them shout political slogans over loudspeakers. I don't know what it was exactly. I always understood "Abajo...", meaning "Down..." with something. Of course government and stuff. Of course they're not completely wrong. The government is corrupt and makes wrong decisions. But from their posters and bitter faces I had the impression that they are on a wrong way just like the Hare-Krishna-people. If only politics were diferent, life would be good and Peru would be a paradise. Of course you can do better just by human effort, no doubt. But happiness you can only find in Jesus, no matter how good or bad are your politics.

Thanks for your prayer!
