A Prayer for the Headlines, Wednesday, Decemkber 22

Good Morning, God,
Thank you, Lord, for the change in seasons! No, Lord, not for changing from fall to winter, but for changing to increasing the hours of daylight rather than decreasing them. Yesterday was the pivotal day for this, being winter solstice and all.
Lord, there are so many things in the headlines that need to turn on a pivot toward the positive. There are all of the things our U.S. Congress is trying to do, with those representing the differing political views trying to turn things their way. There are all of the personal trials that singles and families are going through - still being unemployed or under-employed, still trying to make just the basic house and utility payments, still trying to cope with serious illnesses, still trying to cope with the deaths of loved ones.
Lord, may our feelings today pivot on your love and goodness toward us. May we, like the days ahead, experience more sunshine in our lives because we follow your will in your way, and you bless us because of it.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
