A Prayer for the Headlines for Tuesday, April 26

Good morning, God,
The headlines, if they can be printed or heard on the radio, are about your rain water, dear Lord. You certainly have opened your heavens and are pouring out everything you have! But, Lord, we can't handle everything you are giving us! Our businesses and homes are built over all sorts of terrain, and some of that terrain is very low. So, we accumulate your water in places we wish we wouldn't!
Heavenly Father, all kidding aside, we pray for the rains to cease and the waters to recede. We pray for the safety of any who must be out and about and trying to do necessary work. We pray for folks with houses that are in low areas and with basements that take on water. We pray for businesses and their inventory; for schools and their transportation.
Lord, may we have the wisdom to stay away from and out of all the high water - and may it not be forty days and forty nights before it stops and recedes!
In Jesus' name, Amen.
