A Prayer for the Headlines for Wedesday, September 21st

Good Morning, God,
Lord, our national government and courts have made a decision as to whom can serve in our military. The decision is that as long as candidates for service are physically and mentally able to do the duties required, any man or woman can serve. This includes now all men and women regardless of their sexual orientation.
Lord, many have prayed for wisdom in this matter - and the perceived answers have been varied, but the major wisdom seems to say that this is okay.
So, Lord, we pray that this decision will be received by all with grace and understanding. We pray for the safety of each man and woman, no matter who they are, as they faithfully serve our country. We pray for their good camaraderie, friendship, and respect. And, Lord, we pray that what we have done and do as a nation will find favor in your sight, for we do strive to be "One nation Under God."
Lord, bless us as we seek to be this.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
