A Prayer for the Headlines for Wednesday, September 11th

(a late posting)
Good Morning, God,

The headlines speak of an "off-the-cuff" remarked by Secretary of State John Kerry, suggesting that if Syria would put their chemical weapons under international control, it may avert a U.S. air strike against Syria. It seems that Russia took the idea and ran with it, China went along with it, and the U.S. is leery of it, but hopeful.

Lord, for those of us who have been praying for a much better solution to the situation than bombing, we will give you the credit for the idea, for the details and for the acceptance. Now, we pray for the carrying out of the plan and the honoring of it for the future.

Gracious God, it is always best when people, as individuals, as well as national representatives, seek solutions that encourage growth and the life rather than destruction and death. May we always have the hope of abundant life.

In Jesus' name, Amen
