Good Morning, God,
Lord, we need your mercy and justice for the headlines that continue this morning about the sexual abuse scandal that involves so many children and adults directly and so many others indirectly because of their involvement with Penn State and the non-profit, "The Second Mile."
Lord, just as in your Garden of Eden sin spoiled something great, beautiful and perfect, so, too, apparently sin has spoiled something very good, fun, helpful and important to others. After these alleged sins, life wasn't the same for many young boys. After the alleged sins came to light, other sins were alleged to have been committed. and now, those alleged sins have affected over a hundred thousand people. Sin, or at least the allegations of it, has affected many lives as it always does if left unchecked and unrepented of.
Lord God, forgive us our many sins this day, bestow on us your bounteous mercy and forgiveness, and cause us to be righteous, this day and always.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
