Good Morning, God
Lord, we have often asked for prayers to be protected and safe from those who make the headlines – those who drive impaired by alcohol and/or drugs, for example. But a telephone call the other day asked for prayers for these very “headlines”. It was a mother who had had to spend Mother’s Day with her son in jail for drinking and driving. “They need our prayers, too, she pleaded.
Yes, Lord, we do need to lift up to you those who, either out of compulsion or just bad habits make the wrong choices to endanger themselves and others by driving impaired. We pray for their healing, Lord, which may only come if and when they admit that they don’t have the power to quit, but that you do have the power, ability and desire to accept their problems from them and control it for them – if only they would relinquish control to you.
Lord, no mother (or father, for that matter) should spend their special day with a son or daughter in Jail. Please, Lord, heal the habit and the hurt.
In Jesus' name, Amen
