A Prayer for the Headlines for Friday, October 12th

Good Morning, God
One of the headlines recently indicates that the fastest growing “religion” (in quotes) in America is made up of people who have no religion at all.  It seems, God, that the Pew research study has found that 20% of Americans say they have no religious affiliation.  However, there are still majorities of peoples who say they believe in God and a notable minority who pray daily or consider themselves “spiritual” but not “religious”.
God, this must make you very sad.  You have created and given us all the beauty of nature.  You not only did this, but you created us – men and women – and gave us minds to know you, hearts to love you, voices to sing your praises.  You have made us “spirited selves” which we use to party and have fun, to gather in the shrines of stadiums and worship our sports idols.
Lord, may we use our spirited selves, though, to celebrate your goodness and glory and worship and adore you in spirit and truth.  May we make you happy, God.
In Jesus’ name, Amen
