A Prayer for the Headlines for Wednesday, May 23rd

Good Morning, God,
The headlines in Indiana are about our Gubernatorial race and the candidates up for election. On Monday, one of the candidates chose his running mate. On Tuesday, the other candiate chose his.
As is always the case, the reasons for the particular selections come out: Education, career history, public service record, personal philosophies. There are no stones left un-turned when it comes to vetting a candidate for poliutical office these days, Lord. We want to either boast of a stellar person or dig up the dirt, depending upon our own political beliefs.
Lord, it is a good thing that all of us aren't up for public scrutiny of our lives each day! Many of us couldn't stand up to the characteristics of our life. Many of us have a lot of great qualities. All of us have a ways to go to live up to your standards, God.
So, for today, may we let our lights so shine so that everyone around will see our good works and give thanks to you, our God in heaven.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
