A Prayer for the Headlines for Friday, September 16th

Good Morning, God
Lord, sometimes our lives feel like a tug-of-war.  Back and forth, back and forth, on one side of the center line we tug or are tugged.  What we would really like is to be able to just be peaceful on our side of life and have a pleasant existence.  But, no, the tugs come.
Lord, the tugs come, usually because of how we prioritize our lives.  We have work; we have families; we have church; we have our organizations, sports, habits, wants and desires.  We have only twenty-four hours in our day, Lord, and we want to do it all!  Can't we stay awake a little longer without getting tired or affecting our health?  Can't we schedule our meetings so we can get to all of them?  Can't we have an eighth day so we can have a Sabbath and rest?  Can't we have just enough work but not too much for an eight-hour work day?
Lord, guide and direct our priorities for life and living this and each day.
In Jesus name, Amen
