A Prayer for the Headlines for Wednesday, February 16

Good Morning, God,
The headlines are about money, big money, your money and mine that we give our government to give back to us in services. Yes, Lord, under our Constitution we have given our government the power and the privilege to require our money to run our country.
Lord, this is budget time for our government. Our President presented his budget for the running of the federal government. It proposes some major changes in how our money is spent and some changes in how our money is brought in. There are things in the budget for everyone to like something, and things for everyone not to like.
Heavenly Father, may we the people of these United States take our responsibilities for our national budget seriously. My we insist on a balanced budget, one without pork and politics, and one which protects and promotes all life, all liberty, and all true pursuits of happiness.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
