Good Morning, God,
The headlines say, "The Surge May End in 2010." We are talking about the 30,000 U.S. Troops in Afghanistan that have been "surging" since 2009. Now, particularly with the death of Osama Bin Laden, it is believed that those troops that went in to "snuff rising violence in the country" have done their jobs.
Lord, we pray it to be so. In fact, we pray that all troops everywhere could come home. We pray that there wouldn't be a need for even police forces, much less armed fighters, because citizens everywhere would consider themselves part of your kingdom and simply follow your Ten Commandments and your Two Great Commandments.
Lord, we know that this doesn't mean that we will all just have a big "love fest." But it does mean that each person, all of us, will try to live our lives as peacefully as possible and try to help others do the same. As much as it depends on us, may we be at peace with others, this day and always.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
