A Prayer for the Headlines for Wednesday, October 26th

Good Morning, God,
Lord, do we feel safer now? Another of the world's worst terrorists has been killed and buried. Most of the country of Libya has cheered; Most of the world has breathed a sigh of relief. Now we wait while Libyans decide what to do next and how to do it.
Naturally, we hope that a democratic government will happen that will want its people and thus its country to prosper. If some in our country have their way, we will encourage it by causing the vast natural resource of oil to flow our way. This causes us to wonder what will flow toward Libya in return.
Heavenly Father, Lord of the Nations, send your blessings to the people of Libya that they may experience joy and freedom in their lives. May countries far and wide not seek to exploit any new openness, but seek to befriend folks who haven't had many friends over the years.
Grant, Merciful God, that all tyrannical governments will cease and that governments which serve its people righteously will prosper.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
