A Prayer for the Headlines for Monday, August 27th

Good morning, God

Last week, competitive cyclist Lance Armstrong was in the news again.  It seems he had had a lawsuit that he had filed thrown out of court.  The lawsuit was an attempt to stop the investigation of Armstrong – once again – on charges of using illegal, performance-enhancing drugs, especially during his Tour de France rides and victories.  Lord, perhaps only you and Mr. Armstrong now for sure.

Heavenly Father, you see everything, don’t you?  You know when we sit down and when we rise.  You know our thoughts even before a word is on our tongue.  Your days for us were written in your book even before we were born.  And, we are fearfully and wonderfully made – by you, Creator God, and because you made us, you keep tabs on us, what we do and what we don’t do.  Such knowledge should be incredibly wonderful – and humbling – for us, and we should try to do everyday what pleases you before we try to please ourselves or others.  So, may we walk with integrity each day do that you, nor anyone, doubts what we are doing.

In Jesus’ name, Amen
