A Prayer for the Headlines for July 1st

Good Morning, God
Even politics get political!  On the eve of celebrating the freedom we very much enjoy in this great country, the political candidates are sparring, not about how they would govern our city, but about how they will and will not debate.  One candidate issues the challenge to have monthly debates beginning  right now! (Why not, Lord?  We are celebrating the privilege this weekend of being able to do so.)  Another candidate says "No, it isn't time yet.  The political season doesn't begin until after our street festival."  Yet another candidate says "Bring it on, any time, anywhere."

Lord, especially this weekend, we give you thanks for the opportunities to have these debates and the little tete-a-tetes about when, where and how often.  Bless these efforts, Lord, as we even prayerfully consider not only the best person for the job, but the ones who you would put into power.  May our debates be civil, our issues be addressed, our safety be assured and our faithfulness be genuine.
In Jesus name, Amen
