A Prayer for the Headlines for Monday, July 18th

Good Morning, God,
Lord, what if the headlines today began with, "Dubois County Hears a Word from the Lord," and the story under the headlines tells about something you want from us or something we did to please you or something we are doing that you would like changed? What if we could so directly discern your will, your desire, your hopes?
Of course, we beleive that by praying our private, individual prayers and listening to and for you, we can know what you desire from us as an individual believer and follower. But, what about us corporately, as a citizen group in our towns, as the totality of citizens in our county? Lord, do you ever speak in a way that all of us can hear at once, or do you always speak just to individuals and encourage us to then share?
This day, Lord, speak to us through the headlines and the stories behind them, that we may know your will and do your work in your way.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
