A Prayer for the Headlines for Friday, January 4th

Good Morning, God,
We are grateful this Friday morning to be able to breathe easier.
We don't have to worry about falling off a cliff! We don't have to worry about an immediate plummeting of our stock portfolios. We don't have to worry too much about our taxes increasing, although our Social Security withholding taxes will go back up the 2% they went down two years ago. And, for now, we don't have to worry too much about losing any services or benefits, at least for two months.
Wow, Lord, it is good to be able to breathe easier for a weekend!
Lord, it would be very nice to breathe easier all year long.
So, Lord, may those who have the input and power to govern the rest of us do so with energy, imagination, intelligence and a great deal of care, doing justly, giving mercy and walking humbly with you, Lord.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
