Good Morning, God,
The headlines have spoken of the death of one and the severe injury of another last Sunday afternoon. Two young men out on a gorgeous day in a great car took to the air, and when they came down, disaster struck. This is sad, indeed, Lord, for something so exhilarating to result in something so permanent as death. We pray for peace for the families involved, Lord.
We also pray for peace for the folks along the road who were first on the scene and in whose field the accident ended and the life was lost. We pray for those who must travel that road regularly, perhaps once or multiple times each day. One neighbor, Lord, called the road "dangerous." Yes, it is narrow and some sight lines are short, but at the posted speed or less, the road is safe enough.
Lord, one good thing: drivers have been taking the road a bit slower, particularly as they see the reminders etched on the road and on the fields.
Lord, slow us down some more, that we all may enjoy these beautiful days safely.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
