Good Morning, God,
While we would love to only be concerned about our local headlines, the international headlines also affect us - or should.
Lord, there are starving children on the Horn of Africa. The Syrian cities are not safe places to be outside these days. Libyan rebels continue to make inroads and the government forces keep defending and pushing back. A headline read, "European Economy Hits a Wall," and the currency - the euro - seems to not be working as a standard currency. Another headline spoke of how the economies of China, that holds a goodly part of the debt of the United States, and the United States, which is China's biggest market, are mutually dependent on each other. The commentary thought this dependence was more like a stalemate, more like an economic "cold war."
Lord, are we concerned too much over things that are too big for us? Give us and those who are educated in such matters the wisdom to work through these things for the good of life and health and daily food, and we will give you the praise and the glory.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
