A Prayer for the Headlines for Monday, November 14th

Good Morning, God
Lord, one again we are seeing and hearing of a person's past being called into question in the present.  Once again alleged actions of the past are deemed serious enough to influence a person's "electability".  Once again there are charges and counter charges.
Lord, it doesn't matter who we are; your word levels indictments against all of us.  Your word tells the world that each of us have done wrong and fallen short of your glory.  Your word even tells us that we were born "sinful creatures."  It's hard to believe, but even a newborn is a sinful creature.  Fortunately, you have a special place in your heart for those who are too young to "know their sinfulness".
But, for the rest of us, Lord, you have given us a way to "come clean" of our sinfulness - belief in your Son, Jesus Christ.  May all of us be willing to admit our failures and foibles and be forgiven our short-comings and offenses and desire to live godly and righteous lives from this day forward.
In Jesus name, Amen
