A Prayer for the Headlines for Friday, October 29, 2010

Good Morning God,

Lord, we are going into a weekend you must really dislike. We are celebrating Halloween again, and bringing out the witches, goblins, ghosts and devils that give credence to the dark and evil side of life. Lord we know that there are a lot of folks who don't see these things as evil as such and think it is just "story book" or "child's play". But you know better, Lord, and some of your people know better, too. Even pretending about the dark side is something we are not to do. We are not to dabble in this stuff because it opens a door to the devil and makes it all the harder for all the good to triumph.

Lord, there is a verse in a song which says " And though this world with devils filled should threaten to undo us, we will not fear, for you hath willed your truth to triumph through us. The Prince of Darkness grim, we tremble not for him, his rage we can endure, for lo his doom is sure, one little word shall fell him". This little word is your Son, Jesus Christ. May you protect us, through him this weekend and everyday.

In Jesus name, Amen.
