A Prayer for the Headlines for Wednesday, April 4th

Good Morning, God,
Lord, you have heard the song we sing which has the words,
I want to be a child again.
I want to see the world through five-year-old eyes -
To walk with my Lord wherever he may lead;
To put my trust in him.
Lord, we can be reminded of this kind of wide-eyed trust when we see children playing their favorite sport, or playing in their favorite spot, or enjoying the company of their favorite friends.
If we go to a baseball game, we can see kids with gloves, ready to catch that foul ball. If we go to a backyard, we can see kids inventing towns and roads in sandboxes. If we go to a playroom, we can see boys and girls who are friends, playing as families.
Lord, whatever we have to do today, let us do it with enthusiasm, imagination and cooperation, trusting and having fun with those around us.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
