A Prayer for the Headlines for Wednesday, August 15th


Good Morning, God
We ask your blessing and protection today on the four men who have been making the headlines since Saturday morning.  We are thankful that these four are following what they believe to be their calling to serve this country as either its president or its vice-president.  We are thankful that they are willing to take the risks inherent with such offices.  We are grateful for the spouses who unselfishly give up more and more time, so that these men may do what is necessary to campaign.
Lord, these men and their families must have your guidance and protection.  You have said that those who are elected to serve us do so under the auspices of your calling.  Therefore, Lord, give us your guidance and wisdom to seek the candidates who will do your bidding.
And, Lord, because we are human beings who are prone to sin, and in doing so harm others, only your sure, strong protection can prevent any attempt – be it by word assassination, physical assassination, family assassination – on the lives of these people attempting to answer the call of this country.  Guide and protect them, we pray.
In Jesus’ name, Amen
