Good Morning, God,
The headlines are screaming about "champions" and victories" today, Lord. some of us are celebrating; some of us are commiserating. Some of us are scared; some of us are satisfied. Some of us believe that you are still in control, God; some of us wonder where you are today.
Whichever "some of us" we are, God, we need you now more than ever. We need your Word to speak even more clearly. We need your Word to be heard even more forcefully. We need your Word to be believed even more deeply.
Gracious God, one of the things we are celebrating are the two local bands that won at state contest: Jasper and Forest Park. We pray for their continuing success and the success of the other bands around us.
We also pray for the election winners and losers, as we now as ever, have a common job to do: To help each person in his or her pursuit of life, liberty and happiness. Guide us, O God.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
