A Prayer for the Headlines for Friday, February 25

Good Morning, God
Lord, this week has seen a lot of political unrest.  People have been protesting in the streets and in certain buildings.  People have been shouting at each other, trying to not only have their views heard, but trying to make their way the way.  Government leaders have had their leadership decisions questioned and /or rejected.  On the floor of the assemblies that debate the issues, the decorum has sometimes been heated.
One might think that we're praying about places far away, but we are really praying about places close at hand.  We pray for Huntingburg and the politics of the Mayoral race.  We pray for the Indiana State Legislature and the issues involved in the discussions.  We pray for the people, all the people - the citizens, legislators, governors - in Wisconsin and every other state who are trying to make financial ends meet.  And, we pray for our national government as spending and budget bills are crafted.
Lord, we really do know that "money doesn't grow on trees".  So may we all choose to be fiscally responsible.  Then, is it fair to all.
In Jesus name, Amen.
