Good Morning, God,
The headlines are about how not even a "Super Committee" can solve our monetary problems! Twelve educated, astute, passionate, and discerning individuals, and they cannot come to an agreement on how to solve a one trillion-plus deficit problem. One side says, "cut spending"; the other side says "increase income." Neither side wants the other side to enact their side. Nor is there any compromise, and all sides lose.
There will be those of us citizens who will be thankful tomorrow that neither side "won." There will be those of us citizens who will be ungrateful that there weren't any winners and losers; in other words, that there wasn't "compromise."
Lord, we aren't talking about major life principles here. We are only talking about how we fund how we want to live in our country. Bottom line, Lord, we all are going to have to pull together in this matter, and maybe suffer together a bit, to survive without a severe, really severe, economic crisis.
Lord, let us be very grateful tomorrow for what we have, but be very willing to give up what it takes, so that we might still have "liberty and justice for all."
In Jesus' name, Amen.
