A Prayer for the Headlines for Monday, November 25th

Good Morning, God,

The headlines are out of the international scene today. One headline says, "It's a deal." A "deal" has been struck between Iran and six world powers, including the United States. Under the deal, Iran promises to limit its nuclear activities in return for the other world powers to ease the sanctions that have been imposed on Iran. Iran has said that they weren't enriching uranium for weapons; others have said they were.

Now, there is this a six-month deal while a more formal deal was worked out. Everyone seems pretty pleased with themselves, Lord. Everyone seems proud of the negotiated "deal."

Lord, in most cases, a person's word is their "bond." We learn this from you: "let your "yes" be "yes" and your "no" be "no"." However, if we don't read your word nor follow your teachings, a person's word may not be considered to be worth anything at all.

So, we pray this day that everyone's words in this important international matter can be trusted.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
