Good Morning, God,
Okay, God, you made this day to be the longest day of sunshine in this hemisphere. We call it "the first day of summer." Ah, summertime, when most everybody is out of school, mom and dad take vacations with the kids, those kids who aren't on vacation are working, sleeping, eating, and texting.
The days during summertime are hot and humid and the nights rarely cool and dry enough to be comfortable sleeping without an air conditioner… And pity folks who have to drive around without air or who have to work outside without the same.
So today, Lord, we want to pray for a bit cooler summer, but more than this, a summer with cooler heads. Already the heat and people with guns are "acting out"; already there are hot, frustrated people taking out their frustrations on innocents.
Lord, keep us cool, calm and collected, as we enjoy the dog days of summer.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
