A Prayer for the Headlines for Monday, September 12th

Good morning, God,
It is a new day to make headlines; thank you! Many are based on what has happened, Lord. Many of the headlines are sensationalized to get our attention. Many of them pull at our heartstrings. Many of them talk to us of things to come.
Lord, what if the headlines we make today are all accurate accounts of what our future holds? What if we could have the insight and wisdom to know what tomorrow holds and put this knowledge into headline form for all to hear and see, and could and would act on the revealed future accordingly? What if, Lord?
We do already know some of your headlines, Lord. You say that rain falls on both the just and the unjust. You say that each of us will face a judgment day. You say that some of us will never receive your headlines, some of us will receive them and forget them, some of us will receive them but be overwhelmed by everything else we have going on, and that some of us will receive your headlines, take action on them, and be blessed by them.
Lord, may we always choose to heed your headlines!
In Jesus' name, Amen.
