A Prayer for the Headlines for Wednesday, September 4th

Good Morning, God,

God of true justice and peace, your Word cautions kings to estimate the cost of going to war. It warns that one may be going against a power bigger than one. Your Word instructs to send a delegation and work out terms of peace.


God of the universe, help our leaders count, then re-count, the cost of sending missiles into Syria, whether in retaliation or punishment, or the worst reason of all, to show our strength of government!

Heavenly Father, what we and all other nations ought to be doing is supporting the weak and helping the afflicted in Syria, while shunning those who would commit such atrocities against their own citizens, but more importantly, against other human beings.

Heavenly Father, actions of destruction will not be prudent; protect us from unwise decisions.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
