A Prayer for the Headlines for Friday, November 22nd

Good Morning, God,

Lord, we have heard fou

In Jesus's name, and.r words we don't ever want to hear in the headlines: "They Dropped the Bomb."

Fortunately, this doesn't refer to dropping a nuclear bomb from a plane over an enemy. Unfortunately, it does apply to a sacrosanct rule of debate and takes away the ability to block votes in the United States Senate. With the dropping of the bomb, now filibusters can be stopped with only a simple majority, rather than a two-thirds vote.

Lord, we have a great deal of rancor among those who are making decisions for us in Washington these days. Discourse is put-one, friendships are strained, decisions are made for political reasons and not often for what is best for we, the American people.

Lord, before any more people get hurt because of the many decisions that are being made, intervene in the United States government, the Executive, Judicial, and Legislative branches, all three.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
