Good Morning God,
Lord, today we want to be honest with you. We confess that our headlines are mostly "downer" and speak to us of a lack of living according to your standards, especially according to your ten commandments and your two great commandments. For if we honored you with all we did and didn't do what you said not to do, then did do what you said to do - honor our Fathers and our Mothers, basically the generations older than we are, and love our neighbors as ourselves, and love you above all, our headlines would be more beautiful, fun-loving, spirit-filled and encouraging.
Gracious God, fill us with your Holy Spirit that we will experience a great resurgence of Biblical faith and belief, and empower us to be not of this world where we live, work, play and worship, spreading how to live "the good life" by following your directions for the good life. Then, Lord, our headlines will change for the so much better.
In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
