A Prayer for the Headlines for Friday, October 19th

Good Morning, God,
The headlines, locally and internationally, have been about people coming along side of a person in need. In one headline it has been about the Pakistani school girl who was shot by the Taliban for advocating that girls should be educated. Now she has to be guarded in the U.S. because the Taliban has said they still will kill her.

The local headline has been about a woman who was fighting a battle against cancer, and her mom who had been by her side encouraging her to use her artistic talents as a distraction to best cancer. But unlike being able to "post guard" around a political refugee, in the battle against cancer one can only do so much before the natural body takes over. Cancer won the battle in this headline.

However, God, it is possible for us to live  through these headlines until it is time to come home to you. As one of the stories said, "You (God) are our breeze carrying us home to be with you in heaven without pain and suffering." Thank you for this promise, God.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
