Good Morning, God
Lord, you know that this prayer-maker looks at local, state, national and international headlines before hearing what you would have us lift up to you. Lately, it seems Lord, that there are so many, especially international, things about which we could pray – and every one of these things deserves and needs our prayers.
We need to pray for the United Kingdom as it deals with the scandal involving Rupert Murdock and the phone tapping scandal. We need to pray for our own government agencies as they deal with sinful Secret Service agents and members of the military as they behaved on foreign soil. We can pray for China and their actions toward human rights and the escape from house-arrest of the dissident who is blind. We can pray for wisdom for our U.S. Drone program that causes us to take out people in foreign countries, seemingly with impunity. And, we can pray for peace to be gained in Syria so that its people may be safe and healthy and no longer live in fear. For these needs and so many others, we ask your care and guidance.
In Jesus' name, Amen
