A Prayer for the Headlines for Wednesday, April 17th

Good Morning, God,

Lord, so much pain and mayhem today and the headlines. We have national pain and we have local pain. We have group pain and we have personal pain. We pray for the victims in Boston and we pray for the South Spencer high school and particularly for the Stafford family, as Cody took his own life Monday night.

Heavenly father, come and undergird us this day support us as we seek to continue what we must do on our jobs, in our families, at our schools. Give us strength to get through the hours of news that keep coming at us with details few and far between.

What we do know, Creator God, is that we need to regain our belief, trust and hope in you. We need to talk with you and listen to you. We need to rededicate our personal and national lives to you.

Until we all do this, we pray this day for protection from such sadly mis-guided people and decisions.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
