A Prayer for the Headlines for Monday, November 28th

Good Morning, God
We have a saying here, Lord, that "Life is not the way it's supposed to be.  It is the way it is.  The way we handle it is what makes the difference."
Lord, we thank you for the opportunity to handle life with prayer.  We believe and can see that prayer "works" for handling life.  When we wake in the morning and have come through another night, we can give thanks for your presence and gift of sleep.  When we get up and face the day, we can trust that whenever and wherever we are, you are there to guide and direct us.  When we have decisions to make that affect our life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, we always can have you at our side, helping us discern our course.  When we are finished with our day and are ready to sleep again, we can be assured of your "Well done" where we were righteous, your forgiveness when we stumbled, and your presence and protection as we turn off and receive rejuvenating sleep.
So, we pray this morning, "thank you for your care of us through the night.  Guide and direct us this day and keep us in your loving care always".
In Jesus name, Amen.
