A Prayer for the Headlines for Wednesday, March 14th

Good Morning, God,
We want to offer a belated prayer for the 100th birthday of the Girl Scouts of America. We missed the day of celebration on Monday, Lord, but we would also have prayed then for its continuing service and ministry. Yes, Lord, the Girl Scouts do offer a ministry, for what they do is bring girls and women together, teaching them things that are for their good and for the good of others. They have high standards and principles and strive to live up to them.
So, we give you thanks, Lord who created us to do good things, live well, and serve others. We give you thanks for the organization of the Girl Scouts. We give you thanks for all the women who give of their time and talent to mentor the young girls who are in the program. And, we give you thanks for the girls who are willing to be in the troops, enjoying friends, projects, camp -- and even the annual cookie sale!
May the Girl Scouts continue to have your blessing, Lord, and may our girls and women become good leaders because of it.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
