Good Morning, God,
The headlines these days are about the ramping-up of the saber-rattling from North Korea-and the tough rhetoric from many other places around the world-South Korea, the United States, even China. Offensive and defensive departments are shuffling men, women and machines. Weapons are being pointed, troops are being put on alert, civilians are urged to leave North Korea or "take cover," and North and South Koreans aren't working together anymore at their joint businesses and factories.
Lord, many if not most of us don't remember the last Korean War. Perhaps our mothers and fathers fought it, but none of us have had to.
Heavenly Father, we pray that none of us will have to fight in a new war, either. May wisdom overcome all sides, young and older rulers alike. May we continue to dwell in relative safety, because no one wants to go through their lives scared each day and night… Yes, give us wisdom, and where we think we know the truth, give us humility.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
