A Prayer for the Headlines for Monday, August 5th

Good Morning, God,

It's back to normal now, God. All that is left of our Strassenfest weekend are the stories of successes and failures stories of friends we met and friends we missed, and comments about how it was the best weather year in a long while. Thank you!.

However, Lord, while we were having fun, the rest of the world was being warned of possible terror activities. The time is ripe, so it is said, because of it being a particular holy day for the world's Muslims, "The Night of Power." It is called this because it is when the first verses of the Koran were revealed to the Prophet Mohammed. It is seen by any Muslim who would follow the Koran and to be martyred for the cause of faith as a particular auspicious time to die. Thus, there is a lot of traffic pointing toward a serious al Qaeda threat to peace.

Lord, may we be alert to the dangers, repent of our own rebellious ways, and live our lives much more faithfully for you.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
