Good Morning, God.
Lord, the boys and girls on the playground are at it again. It seems that every year about this time - whether it is the post-holiday let-down, the weather, or New Year's resolutions - it causes side-choosings. some go to one side of the playground; some go to the other. The game to be played is in the middle, but it can only be played if both sides come together, play by the rules, and have as a goal doing the best they can for the reputation of the playground and the surrounding neighborhood.
Alas, Lord, one side or the other chooses to make its point by not playing, so the game which involves back-and-forth conversation and debate never happens to the frustration of at least half of the fans, if not most of the fans.
Lord, you are a God who loves to see people working together for the common good. We are a people who choose our teams and ask them to play the game fairly, completely, and for the good of all.
Heavenly Father, may you influence the hearts and minds of the teams pitted against each other on the playground of our government to come together for the important game of governance.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
