A Prayer for the Headlines for Wednesday, December 12th

Good Morning, God
The other day the headlines were about traffic signals, God.  The stories were regarding how adjustments had been made at the “Y” in Jasper and how the Bretzville Junction was going to upgrade to stop and go lights, rather than just the flashing red light and the stop signs.  The adjustment at the “Y” is for better traffic flow.  The adjustment at the Bretzville Junction if for more safety and better flow.  Now if the state would see fit to let the lights change quicker when approaching the highways, life would be so much better!  But that is another prayer!
Seriously, God, we ought to consider your signals that keep us flowing smoothly through the roads of our lives.  We ought to consider your “red lights”, your Commandments that stop us from doing harmful things.  We ought to consider your yellow caution lights that warn us to change our habits before it is too late.  We ought to consider the green lights we get from you that keep our lives and others’ lives flowing smoothly – things like doing what is right, loving our neighbors as ourselves and traveling each day with your guidance.
In Jesus’ name, Amen
