A Prayer for the Headlines for Monday, April 9th

Good Morning, God
Lord, here it is the beginning of another week.  There probably won’t be any headlines about this, but many people, including pastors, really like this day.  It has often been touted as the first day of spring, because it is the first day after Easter.  Traditionally, this is the first day one could wear white!  It is also a day when the heavy Holy Week programs are done and Christians can really enjoy being believers and walking with God in new hope and growth.
So, Lord, we pray this day for the things that make for good, joyous headlines.  We pray for a great spring planting season for our farmers.  We pray for a great finish for the school year for every student, especially our graduates.  We pray for successful business ventures and safe flying and other travel to and from our meetings.  We pray for relationships everywhere that they may be mutually enjoyable, healthy and totally loving.  And, Lord, we pray that we will remember to go to church and take you with us during the week.  Thank you, God, for this first day after Easter.
In Jesus' name, Amen
