a Prayer for the Headlines for Friday, November 16th

Good Morning, God,

The mainstream media hasn't really been making headlines with this, Lord God, but places like Facebook, Twitter, coffee klatches, water coolers and bar conversations have. These conversations are already look ahead four years to 2016, and who will be seeking the presidency then. Many are wondering who the Democrats will continue their hold with; many are wondering who the Republicans can put up to get back the presidency.

All of this is a natural thing, God, but we are living "right now." A line in a movie says, "Yesterday is the past; tomorrow is the future; today is a gift, that's why it is called the present."

So, Lord, help us to live in the present. Let us be comfortable heeding your Word that instructs us not to worry about tomorrow, that you are already and always in the future as you have been in every past and as you are present each day, even day by day.

Let us look to you this day for our daily bread and daily direction.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
