A Prayer for the Headlines for Friday, January 27th

Good Morning,God,
There is so much really serious stuff going on in the headlines, Lord, that it may be okay to take a cue from the entertainment industry today. Although the recent headlines are taken seriously in "The Business," they aren't necessarily life and death issues.
So, Lord, our prayers today have been inspired by the Oscar nominations, the results of the voting on which will indicate "the best of" any number of categories: Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actors and Actresses, just to name a few.
But, Lord, these "bests" are usually names we recognize and know. There will also be "bests" from behind the scenes, "bests" that get listed on the credits after the stars, even after all the extras that appeared on-screen.
So, Lord, today we pray for all and any of us who are behind-the-scenes people, doing our jobs day-in and day-out, trying to meet the needs of the boss and the customer, taking home a pay check to meet the needs of our families. May we be voted "The Best" at what we do, also!
In Jesus' name, Amen.
