A Prayer for the Headlines for Monday, February 13th

Good morning, God

The sign says “Silence is appreciated”.  The Headlines are about a new room for Yoga at the San Francisco International Airport.  It is believed that this room is the first of its kind.  Airports have other places for relaxation – massage chairs, airline club lounges, chapels for Jewish and Christian travelers and Christian Science Reading rooms for that ilk.  There are also the U.S.O. and Red Cross lounges for service men and women who need a place to rest before, between and after their flights.

It does seem to be a good idea, Lord.  As one person said, “It’s perfect; I can get my exercise and a little peace and quiet – a little Zen moment – before my flight.”

Lord, its Monday again for us.  We may not have a flight to catch, but we are taking off for another week.  Help us, Lord, to be able to find and use the opportunities for quiet, meditation and exercise that you provide for us this week.  The week will feel much better if we do!

In Jesus name, Amen
