A Prayer for the Headlines for Monday, March 18th


May the headlines be so much better than some of the ones last week!  Last week the headlines were about a boy who died after being pulled from a Disney pool.  The headlines were about 4 dead in 3 car wrecks; about a 13-year old boy who stole a police car; about the creepy things Facebook knows about us; about 7 more people being beheaded in Saudi Arabia for stealing, despite the United Nations asking that it not happen, because the men didn’t get fair trials, it is thought.

Lord, amid all of these headlines, we can all think that perhaps for but your grace in our lives, we could be involved in losing loved ones to accidents or intentional violence or bad choices or serious criminal activity.  So, we pray on this Monday to begin another week, that we will continue in your grace and have the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the strength of faith to lead a live worthy of being called and accepted as people of God.

Forgive us our sins, lead us not into temptation and keep us from the evil one.

In Jesus name, Amen
