A Prayer for the Headlines for Wednesday, October 5, 2011

Good morning, God,
We have been remiss in these prayers by not praying for our farmers and this time of harvest - but you know what is on our hearts and are blessing us anyway!
You are blessing us with beautiful days: Crisp, clear, dry. You are blessing us with bounty: The yields are doing very well, thus making us feel that our efforts are worthwhile. You are blessing us with machinery that keeps on operating and doing what is expected of it. You are blessing us with safety.
Gracious God, Lord of the Harvest, who gave us the charge and blessing to have dominion over the good land so that it will produce that which sustains life, we give you our grateful thanks. We ask that we will continue in your favor this harvest season. When we work, may we have tireless strength and energy. When we rest, may we feel safe, unworried and unhurried, and at peace.
Watch over us this and every season of the year, Sustaining God.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
