A Prayer for the Headlines for Friday, July 13th

Good Morning, God
Our headlines draw our attention to our 4-H Fair today, Lord.  We lay the week before you, asking for your favorable weather, your protection for safety, your encouragement whether we “ribbon” or not and you understanding when it comes to “city folks” understanding why “country folks” do it every year!
We do thank you, Creator God, for giving us this earth and creating the ways of self-sustainment.  We are thankful for being able to participate in your beauty and tastefulness.  We thank you that we can take part in birthing, nurturing, teaching and showing our animals.  We appreciate all the positive, good things that 4-H teaches and that you enable us to learn.
Lord, may 4-H help us be your instruments to help others:  Where people hate, let us love; where people injure, let us pardon; where people doubt, let us share faith; where people despair, let us give hope; where people are sad, let us give joy.
In Jesus’ name, Amen
