A Prayer for the Headlines for Monday, September 19th

Good Morning, God
It's amazing, Lord, how our daily routines can be interrupted by the cracks that happen in our lives.  The headlines have been about a major crack in the major bridge that spans the Ohio River between Kentucky and Indiana.  this crack has caused major problems for 89,000 vehicles a day - they all must find another way to get where they need to go!  One thing for sure is that there will be lines of vehicles stretching for up to 9 miles in one direction and up to 3 miles in another direction, and it will take much more time.  This is a major disruption to our lives, Lord!  There is more concern about road rage; there is more concern about how to get in eight hours of work.  There is concern about how to repair the bridge and how to do it as quickly as possible!
Lord, help us to think of alternate solutions when our lives are disrupted by cracks!  May we not be so set in our ways that we can't flex and when we flex, may it not be angrily but patiently.
In Jesus name, Amen
