A Prayer for the Headlines for Friday, February 8th

Good morning, God,
Sometimes, Lord, things are helped along by visual aids. In fact, God, someone said that they "would rather see a sermon than hear one any day! The same can be said for headlines-sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words.
For example, God, you would rather see us on our knees praying than just saying the words as we go along. For example, God, we are more moved by the pictures of the casualties of war more than the ever-growing statistic of the number of dead. For example, we would rather see a basketball game in person than just hear one, although our announcers locally do a great job. For example, we understand the empathy toward cancer victims, especially children with cancer, when we see the healthy also shaving their heads in solidarity.
Lord Jesus, thank you for eyes to see, ears to hear, minds to comprehend, and hearts that empathize and love.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
