A Prayer for the Headlines for Friday, March 2nd

Good Morning, God
Today you should be very pleased, Lord, for this is the day that the entire world is at prayer, at least those who believe in you.  At least those faiths that are included in your Good Book.  What's that Lord?  You haven't seen this yet?  Most of the world is going about its separate ways, with only a few people stopping, usually at noon, to have a special prayer time and service?  What's that Lord?  You have set aside this special day to especially listen to our prayers?
Well, we won't disappoint you, Lord.  We come before you today in humbleness, thanking you for your sustaining love and forgiveness.  We praise you for the world in which we live and the joy of living with each other.  We pray that more people, yea all people, will live more closely in harmony.  We pray for an end to disease and discord, an end to immorality and individualism, and a beginning to harmony and helpfulness, mutual respect and responsibility.  Lord, we will pray especially this day.  Hear the prayers we make.
In Jesus' name, Amen
