A Prayer for the Headlines for Monday, July 8th

Good Morning, God,

Oh, Lord, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive! These words come from us Sir Walter Scott in 1808, but could come with this morning's headlines or any mornings headlines!

Lord, who cautions in your Good Book to "always let your yes be yes and your no be no," you must be hoping we also remember your word that "we reap what we sow"… And we are.

The biggest, latest deception and exposé, Lord, is the case of Edward Snowden, a worker who had access to very secret information the United States Government was gathering, and made it "un--secret" by telling the news media what was going on. At first, it was about the government spying on us, it's citizenry; then it was that the government is spying on other governments (what else is new!); now it is about how with Edward Snowden on the lam and his hiding and attempts to leave, are deterring and delaying other important people.

Lord, will there ever come a day when all truth will be known about everything?

Oh! Come, Lord Jesus, quickly come!

In Jesus's name, Amen.
