A Prayer for the Headlines for Friday, July 20th

Good Morning, God
Some of the headlines this week have been about tainted food again.  This time it is about sewing needles being found in different turkey sandwiches that were served on at least four different airplanes coming out of Amsterdam.  It seems that, somehow, these needles were put into the sandwiches.  Fortunately, no one has been hurt by this prank.
Of course, Lord, this is definitely a prank, and a dangerous one at that!  Sewing needles are definitely not part of the ingredients of a sandwich!  So how and why did this happen?
Was it done by a worker just wanting to have a bit of fun?  It isn’t right to think that anyone would consider this a humorous act.  Was it done by a worker wanting to express his or her frustration at something, perhaps personal, perhaps work related.  Was it done by a worker who is truly angry at the food company or the airlines?
The answer doesn’t matter, Lord.  Please protect all of us from pranks that can injure – and straighten out the minds of those who would be the perpetrators.
In Jesus’ name, Amen
