A Prayer for the Headlines for Monday, August 12th

Good Morning, God,

Lord. We always love the many colors you have given us to enjoy-the reds, blues, greens, and every shade in-between. We appreciate your rainbow of colors, the beauty they all provide.

However, Lord, we are drawn to great concern when we hear of amber or silver colors, because they come with alerts that someone-either a young person or an elderly person-is missing. We get a chill down our spine when we hear of a baby, a young child, or even a teenager gone missing.

Many times, Lord, these alerts do not turn out well. Many times the missing person is the recipient of harm. However, loving God, we are often blessed with the discovery of the person for which the amber alert (or the silver alert) is called being found safe.

Heavenly Father, Master Painter of all colors, we give thanks for the safe return of the latest amber alert subject. Color our world joyful!

In Jesus' name, Amen.
