A Prayer for the Headlines for Friday, January 6th

Good Morning, God
Once again we begin a year with saber-rattling.  This time, or for the umpteenth time, it is with Iran.  There are threats to cut off oil supplies.  There are counter-threats to keep supply lanes open.  There are the tests of missiles.  There are the promises of sanctions.  There are concerns that our men and women will be committed to that region, now.  There are counter concerns that we probably better not.
Heavenly Father, while we have been busy at Christmas wondering if we should say "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays", we have forgotten to reiterate the phrase everyone ought  to embrace; we ought to be encouraging one and all with "May there be peace on earth and goodwill to all".
So, Lord, we make this our prayer today: "May there be peace on earth and goodwill to all".  Oh, Lord, and let it begin with each of us today!
In Jesus name, Amen
