A Prayer for the Headlines for Wednesday, February 27th

Good Morning, God,
Here it is, "Hump Day," God. We are half-way through this week, and almost over the hump. We have the sequestration and daylight savings time ahead of us and the Oscars behind us. Where do you fit in, Lord of the Universe?

According to the headlines, you fit into Friday's headlines because it is said it is going to be "The Apocalypse." We have been awaiting this day, Lord. It will be the day the world will end and Jesus comes again! (And, most people believe it will only be about cuts to government spending!)

Also, according to the headlines, you did not fit into the Oscar presentations and acceptances. Unlike sports heroes who thank you for their success, the actors and actresses thanked the Guild, their producers, their fellow cast members, etc., but not you, God.

Lord, those of us who know from where our help comes, give you thanks for all our blessings: our life, our friends and family, and the gifts and talents we have to work with and bless others. Thank you, Lord, for our rewards every day.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
