A Prayer for the Headlines for Wednsday, September 18th

Good Morning, God,

Once again, God, the questions are being asked about how something like this could have happened. The something this time is the Navy Yard shooting this week in Washington, D.C. How did the guy get a pass to get in? How could he have bought a shotgun? How could he have passed a background check? Supposedly he had a "pattern of misconduct" in the Navy, run-ins with the law and possible mental health problems; how did he get a pass?

We are sure, God, that inquiring minds will figure all of this out, and some heads will probably roll and there will be more talk of gun control, etc., etc., etc.

However, God, the issue is, until you come and set up your kingdom on earth, we will always have these and other kinds of evil happenings. We can stem some of the tide bit by bit as people come to Jesus, but until the devil is fully overcome by Jesus, we will experience these things. So, our prayer today is, "Come, Lord Jesus, quickly come."

In Jesus' name, Amen.
