A Prayer for the Headlines, Friday, January 28

Good Morning, God
Lord, all of this terrorism stuff around the world is getting old!  How long will it be before those plotting to be terrorists realize that it is a futile effort to try to change things by blowing up one's self and innocent people?  Terrorists are simply selfish people wanting only for themselves.  People who are left, people who are in power, governments that make laws and care about protecting life, liberty and happiness, work all the harder to combat terrorism before it happens and put barriers in place to ferret out terrorist cells and block the person carrying the bomb.
Lord, many terrorists claim that their religion advocates and rewards being a suicide bomber.  Many terrorists believe that if people don't believe like they believe, that those people deserve to be targeted and killed.
Heavenly Father, we are blessed to be known and loved by you and that your sacrifice was your own son so that we might live and have life!  And, Lord, we remember  that we also can have no greater love that to give up our own rights, privileges, even our life, so that others may live and have life and abundance.
In Jesus name, Amen
