Prayers for the Headlines, Monday, December 27, 2010

Good Morning, God
Last week we had the headlines about the total lunar eclipse on Tuesday morning.  Unfortunately for us in Dubois County, the skies were overcast and we weren't able to view this phenomenon.  We also have learned that we won't be able to experience another total lunar eclipse until the year 2014.  Lord, would you please plan now to have our skies clear so that we can see this great thing in nature?
Gracious God, not being able to see a lunar eclipse because of clouds is so often indicative of the rest of our lives.  Some great thing is going on around us and some kind of cloudiness blocks our enjoyment of it.  Perhaps we had clouds over Christmas, just 2 days past, because we were lonely.  Perhaps we are hesitating to celebrate the coming of the new year this week because the clouds of the past year still cover us.  Perhaps your light doesn't shine brightly enough in our lives, so that even if we don't have clouds, our lives seem dark.  Lord, if you will continue to shine on our lives, we will get rid of the clouds covering our lives.  We want to shine brightly and not be eclipsed!
In Jesus name, Amen.
