A Prayer for the Headlines for Wednesday, November 6th

Good Morning, God,

Lord, you didn't create us to always receive bad news, sometimes heart-rending news, sometimes news of crimes and how many were hurt and/or killed. No, Lord, in your creative genius, you made us to also receive good news, news of people, especially young people, making beautiful music and designs on a football field through marching bands.

Today, we thank you for this good which has shown through, especially through the Forest Park and the Jasper bands. We thank you that they have had the stamina and work ethic, the talent and understanding to take their performances all the way to the state competitions. And, we rejoice with them that they brought back high finishes. Out of all the bands in the state, Forest Park is number one and Jasper is number four.

Lord, this is cause for Thanksgiving-for the gift of music you give and the use of the gift by our teenagers! Thank you, God.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
