A Prayer for the Headlines for Monday, June 13th

Good Morning, God
The other day, Lord, the headlines were about an unusual daytime bombing raid over Tripoli, Libya.  The story had with it quotes from those who live in Tripoli who stood outside and watched the intended targets get hit.  Some had the fatalistic attitude of "Oh well, hopefully the bombs will miss us, but if they don't, then we hope God will take care of us".
We sing it, Lord: "Be not dismayed, what 'er be-tide; God will take care of you.  Beneath his wings of love abide, God will take care of you.  Through days of toil when heart doth fail; God will take care of you.  When danger fierce your path assails; God will take care of you.  God will take care of you, through every day, o'er all the way.  He will take care of you; God will take care of you."
God, thank you for taking care of us here.  Thank you for skies clear of bombing airplanes.  Thank you for the peace that we live in in these United States.
In Jesus name, Amen
