A Prayer for the Headlines for Monday, October 15th

Good Morning, God
Recently the headlines have been about the United Nations.  There were speeches given by different heads of state.  There was debate.  There were reminders of the purposes of the U.N. – and the desire to better be a United Nations truly helping nations to be united.
We are reminded of the different Secretarys General of the U.N., one of whom was Dag Hammarskjold.  He put a lot of his thoughts into a book entitled Markings - a wonderful book with many thoughts for a United World. 
Although you already know this prayer, God, please listen to it again as we repeat what Dag Hammarskjold wrote: “Great and good God, give us pure hearts that we may see you, humble hearts that we may hear you, hearts of love that we may serve you, hearts of faith that we may live in you, reverent hearts that we may worship you here and in the world out there.
In Jesus’ name, Amen
