Good Morning, God
Lord, do we remember that today is United Nations Day? This is the day that we celebrated the founding of the organization whose charter involves bringing disparate nations together in one place to discuss and take action on keeping peace and safety among countries around the world, helping to conquer hunger and disease wherever it is found and to help educate and protect children so that they might have a fair, fighting chance at an abundant life.
Many of us, Lord, grew up when the United Nations was in its infancy and were convinced of its potential and high idealism. Lord, what has happened to such aspiration? Is there no more desire for peace through compromise and negotiation? Is there no longer the commitment to sit at a negotiating session and come to a mutually agreed upon resolution? Is there no more possibility to feed the hungry, clothe the naked and heal the sick through being united even though nations are different? Lord, may the high idealism of the United Nations be restored, live on and be effective.
In Jesus name, Amen
