A Prayer for the Headlines for June 3rd

Good Morning, God
Lord, how sweet it is to be among the "found".  We are reminded of this as more and more of the residents of Joplin are found after that tornado ripped through the city.  The headlines continue with the decreasing numbers of missing and increasing numbers of those whose where-abouts are known.  Even if these found people aren't home yet, at least they are on the way.
Lord, you know about the lost and the found.  You know about how many people are lost in their life's ways.  You know how many people are lost because they don't walk with you.  You even gave us the wonderful story of a young man who was lost to his religion, lost to his family and lost to himself.  When the perils of life overtook him and he remembered where his home truly was and went there, his Father ran out to meet and greet him.  Lord, thank you for being our home and for welcoming all of us who are prodigals home when we turn to you in faith and hope.
In Jesus name, Amen
