A Prayer for the Headlines, Monday, May 2

Good Morning, God
Lord, the headlines have been about the rain and all the damage and danger they might bring and what we need to watch out for.  There is no doubt, Lord, that many of our days and plans have been interrupted of late.  We've had to adjust and our schedules, spend time and money on sandbags (or mops!), work with our shop-vacs, detour around high water and hope that water doesn't reach our electrical and electronic equipment.  All in all, Lord, we are grateful for all our safety measures and the lack of serious problems with life and limb here, and are very sad for the losses in other places!

In fact, Lord God, what if this interruption of water has kept us safe from other things that would have harmed us here?  Perhaps it kept us from an accident on the road, because we couldn't  make the trip.  Perhaps it kept us from falling off of a building, because we couldn't get on it due to lightening and rain.  Perhaps it kept us from a meeting that would not have been in our best interest and would have cost us money.  Only you know, Lord, the power this interruption of rain has really had.  Sometimes interruptions really are good for us.
In Jesus name, Amen
