A Prayer for the Headlines for Wednesday, May 29th

Good Morning, God,

The headlines have been about President Obama touring two of the sites of natural disasters - the site of the Moore, Oklahoma, tornado form a week ago, and the site of Hurricane Sandy in New Jersey last fall. While in Oklahoma, the President did observe devastation of buildings and landscapes, but couldn't do anything but speak of the resolute residents and indomitable spirits of Oklahomans.

While on the Atlantic Coast, the President made remarks about how his administration is committed to standing with communities during their recovery efforts - as it has for the Jersey Shores. he also, in both cases, praised the arrival on the scenes and the efforts of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Lord, you have endowed all of us with indomitable spirits for use in crises such as these. Thank you for the resoluteness and resourcefulness of both the victims and the aid workers. May they have the strength to do what needs to be done.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
