A Prayer for the Headlines, Wednesday, January 5

Good Morning, God,
We have an old saying among us, Lord, that goes, "If you keep doing what you're doing, you'll keep getting what you've got." So many of us, Lord, have done so many things the same way for so many years that we believe that this is the only way to do things. Not only this, but we don't even want to think about change because we believe that we are always right doing things the way we do them.
Heavenly Father, you are the God of "newness." Most importantly, your love is fresh and new every day. When we awaken from our refreshing sleep, our prayer may be, "I thank you, O Lord, for your care of me through the night. Now, guide and direct me this day and keep me in your loving care always; in Jesus' name, Amen.
And, you promise, Lord, that when we pray a prayer in Jesus' name, you will hear it from heaven. So, Lord, may you help us to see each day as an opportunity to change to your will, living our life in your way, and we pray this. . . In Jesus' name, Amen.
