A Prayer for the Headlines for Wednesday, August 10th

Good Morning, God,
Well, Lord, somebody finally called our bluff! When the dust settled in Washington last week, the dust rag was wielded by a Wall Street institution. They said, "Ya'll have been fighting among yourselves too long and the TKO, the technical knockout, was no knockout at all. Actually, ya'll just went back to your corners to come to fight again."
Lord, while it is desired by Washington that we believe that "all is well and all is right," the rest of the world knows better. We don't even have to have financial heads; our guts tell us that we have money troubles. Standard and Poors just named it by putting it on paper and taking action.
We pray for our national financial picture, Lord. What happens in Washington does affect our personal finance. Give our leaders the guts to make the tough decisions about spending and taxation. We all must pull together on this, Lord. Give us the direction to tug!
In Jesus' name, Amen.
