A Prayer for the Headline for Wednesday, November 3

Good Morning, God,

Two years ago, our President spoke about "Change," and the headlines captured this. This morning, we have even more change, which the headlines have boldly proclaimed. Who was it, Lord, who said, "The only constant is change"?

Lord, try as we might otherwise, our lives are about change. Oh, the calendar doesn't change; Monday still follow Sunday, etc. We have to make minor adjustments, but we can count on the calendar. The biggest change in our lifetime is with our health; it changes day-to-day, for the better or for the worse. We do what we can to keep our health constant, but our health life is about change.

Lord, as our governing officials change, may these be for the better. Bless them to do a job well for the benefit of all, not just a few. Guide them to lead with wisdom and not just with personal opinion. And, may we be good followers, helping to change our lives and our world for the better.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
