A Prayer for the Headlines for Monday, November 12th

Good Morning, God

The headlines come from a cartoon the other day.  In the one-panel Family Circus cartoon, Jeffy came from his bedroom and said, “Guess what, Mommy!  You were the star of my dream last night!”

Creator God, you gave us the wonderful gift of dreams, from the warm ones where we experience the great loving people in our lives, to the ones that, honestly, leave us cold.  Sometimes we wake encouraged by our dreams, sometimes we wake scared by our dreams.  Sometimes we wonder why we dreamed what we did; sometimes we wonder why our dream couldn’t have lasted forever.  Dreams.

You have your dreams and hopes – for us, don’t you, Lord.  Your dream for us is that all of us would come to know you, love you, serve you and when our lives are over, come home to you.  The beautiful thing about your dreams is that they can become very real, because we can experience them when we are awake.  May we love and embrace your dreams for us, Loving Parent.

In Jesus name, Amen
