A Prayer for the Headlines for Wednesday, April 13

Good Morning, God,
There is a poem for our headlines this morning, Lord, that has the line, "Oh, the places we could go!" We are reminded of this thought as it was just fifty years ago yesterday that a human being was put into orbit around the earth. Since then, men have walked on the moon, made in-space repairs on equipment orbiting the earth, and most recently, men and women have been living in a space station for months on end, being shuttled to and from from the earth. "Oh, the places we have gone, Lord!"
Lord, we have always heard, "where there is a will, there's a way." Having the will to learn and explore and to go and do have been some of the hallmarks of we whom you have created. You have given us such minds to dream, imagine, design and build, so that these things come naturally to us. But, Lord, our minds can also concoct evil things as well as things good.
So, we pray this day for the wisdom of Solomon, that all we can dream up will be in your will and to your glory, Lord. Who knows the places we might then go? You do, Lord, you do!
In Jesus' name, Amen.
