A Prayer for the Headlines for Friday, May 4th

Good Morning, God
Lord, we are having far too many headlines about drivers getting stopped for some traffic violation, then ending up being charged with “Driving Under the Influence”.  Fortunately, a lot of these are in the wee hours of the morning when very few other people are on the streets, but more and more stops are being made at much busier times.
Good God, we give thanks today for concerned citizens who report suspected impaired drivers.  We thank you for astute police officers who look for reasons to stop a driver in order to check them out.  And, Lord, we are grateful for all drivers who don’t attempt to drink and drive, helping our streets to be as safe as they can be.
Lord God, we also pray for those who do like to “party hearty”, then get behind a wheel to drive.  May they just not do it!  And for those who do – may the rest of us stay clear of them, while they are stopped and arrested, and punished.
In Jesus' name, Amen
