Prayers for the Headlines, Monday, May 9, 2011

Good Morning, God
Lord, today we want to pray for our up-and-coming young people, those in the late teens, twenties and early thirties, about 20 years of young men and women, about a generation.  Gracious God, it seems that often it is in this age group of people that we see strong idealism, the strength to act, the hope for a better tomorrow (at least as they imagine it), and sometimes, the wisdom to carry out the dreams appropriately, but sometimes not.  Sometimes the teachers and mentors of these young people limit their influence to encouraging free thinking and new imaginings, but with the cautions that protest to life and health.  Other mentors and teachers, though, lead these young minds to do things that harm.

Today, Lord, we thank you for the gift of our mind, and especially the minds of our young people.  May they always be thinking of better ways of doing things and have high idealism - for all concerned as they act on their imaginings.
In Jesus name, Amen
