A Prayer for the Headlines for Wednesday, July 27th

Good morning, God,
We here in Dubois county will be praying for a solution to the "Debt Crisis" situation. It seems that it will only be by your Divine intervention that it will be solved, Lord. There are too many of our human characteristic flaws being demonstrated in the efforts of too many people to get it solved by our efforts alone.
Everything you warn us about in your Good Book, everything that has caused trouble for folks in the Bible, everything that has caused the downfall of great nations mentioned in Scripture is happening among us right now, Lord.
Ah, Lord God, if only we would follow your guidance as a people and as a nation. If only we would turn fully to you and pray, "Not my will but Thine be done." If only we could leave politics, posturing, pride and prejudice outside the arena and seek what would be fair to all, with those in positions of authority taking the lead! If only...
Ah, Lord, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
