Prayers for the Headlines, Friday, December 3, 2010

Good Morning, God
Lord, in some of the headlines, there is the opportunity to nominate a person or persons we deem to be "a hero" from their actions in the past year.  The nominees then get voted on and lifted up for their heroic actions.  All of these actions aren't just because someone actually saved the life of someone else, either.The heroes are heroes because of the way the lives of the hero and the recipient of the heroics intersected.

A hero may have helped young people along in life.  (Our school administrators and teaches are very much heroes!)  A hero may have helped create a solution to a local problem or a social issue. (Our activists against the bio-mass power may become our version of heroes.)  A hero may be an everyday person who came up with an easy solution to a health problem (a one-on-one effort to stop another person from smoking or drinking.)  A hero may be a person who stood in the gap for another, protecting someone else from harm (that  is something all of us should do).  In fact, Lord, may all of us be a hero to someone else each day.
In Jesus name, Amen
