Good Morning, God,
We come to you this morning praying for discernment, wisdom and good decisions in the days and weeks ahead. We have heard our President's "State of the Union" address. We have heard the official and unofficial responses to the speech...from both sides. Now, we the people, are mulling things over over coffee this morning and will chew on things over lunch and dinner the rest of the day.
Gracious God, we pray that as agendas are formed for "Winning the Future," we will act in ways that will, first of all, be pleaseing to you and honor you for giving us all we have in the first place. Then, we pray that what we do will honor each other, that we won't put undue burdens on some of us while letting others of us live free of obligations. Your desire for us, Loving God, is for us to live righteously - "God-rightly" - in all we do.
And, we do well when we remember to turn to you each day, humbling ourselves in prayer before you each day, asking your forgiveness for our short-comings each day, and turning away from the things you don't like each day, that you will then bless us and our land. May we do our part "each day."
In Jesus' name, Amen.
