A Prayer for the Headlines for Wednesday, July 25th

Good Morning, God,
The headlines just keep coming, don't they, God, telling us about the fallout from sin. The fallout this time is from the Sandusky sexual abuse scandal, cover-up, and the lack of proper oversight and control by those in authority. Now, a very fine university and some very fine young men and adult men who have come through Penn State will forever live with the stigma and stink - plus having their efforts on the football field nullified for the past, present and future. Those currently in authority have wielded their power thoroughly.
Lord Jesus, we pray for the extreme remorse - the extreme remorse - by everyone who had even the slightest involvement in the sins. We pray that all concerned will accept the penalties as pronounced, then begin to lead a more righteous life inside and outside the university.
We pray for each and every victim, that their lives will be healed and peaceful. And, we pray for the innocent people - the students, faculty, staff and supporters of Penn State, that they will have hope and strength enough for the new days ahead.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
