Good Morning, God
It’s Friday, March 1st, and today the sequestration starts, the across-the-board decreases to federal spending. Not thinking 6 months ago that it would come to this, Democrats and Republicans and the president had voted for it. But, even more staunchly than ever, the players – all the players – have dug in their heels. “Compromise” is in the vocabulary, but only if one compromises in the other’s way.
So, today we pray for the citizens of these United States. We pray for that additional hole in our belts necessary to tight them. We pray for the truly least, lost and lonely who truly need government benefits. We pray for the hard-working souls who take their responsibilities seriously to put food on the table, a roof over their head and clothes on their backs. We pray for those whose income and lifestyle won’t be affected today, that these folks look around and ask what they can do to help others. Perhaps, Lord, all of us need to pray for guidance asking “What can I do to help us get through this mess; me, myself and I, what can we do to help us straighten this thing out?” And then, just do it!
In Jesus’ name, Amen
