A Prayer for the Headlines for Friday, April 6th

Good Morning, God
Lord, we thank you for this somber day.  Oh, to many, if not most, this day is just another Friday to say to you TGIF - Thanks God, it’s Friday.  But today we Christians have a special reason for saying “Thank you God, for this particular Friday”, for today is Good Friday on our Christian Church calendars.
This is the Friday that a person’s death was a good death and a death that affects all of us.  This is the day we honor you, God, for allowing your Son to die for the rest of us.  This is the day that Jesus died on that Roman cross – and you let him, just for us.
Jesus’ death isn’t just a myth, either, is it God?  Even the Jewish historians attest to this happening. 
So, today especially, Father God, we say “thank you” for the sacrifice of your Son, Jesus the Christ, so that we might have our sinfulness forgiven and be saved for heaven for eternity.  Thank you, God, for this Good Friday.
In Jesus' name, Amen
