A Prayer for the Headlines for Monday April 4

Good Morning, God
As the weeks go by, Lord, we need to not forget the people of Japan.  It may be easier for us to concentrate on the mechanics of the nuclear problem part - the bricks and mortar, the radioactive water, the different radioactive elements - but we really need to remember the great needs of the people, including those who are working around all of the radiation.  How many of these workers are literally giving their lives so that all others may live?  Only time will tell, but there will be those who will be considered "heroes" because they did their jobs in the damaged plant.
We thank you for such people, Lord.  We thank you for people who will risk their own lives, doing what needs to be done, so that the rest of us, wherever we are, can live in relative safety.
We also do want to lift up the men and women and boys and girls of Japan.  May they have good weather, enough food, water, clothing and shelter, and may they have an abundance of hope for each new day.
In Jesus name, Amen
