A Prayer for the Headlines for Friday, June 10th

Good Morning, God
Lord, all of the new electronic media can be a marvelous tool and wondrous to behold.  It certainly is a far electron away from Pony Express, telegraph and smoke-signal days!  Communications these days are seemingly instantaneous.  We hit the "send" button and our messages are received - in the next cubicle and around the world.  We thought the Polaroid Land camera was so great; now we can take high-resolution pictures with cell phones and/or digital cameras and immediately send them to both willing and unwilling recipients, both intentionally privately and  accidentally publicly.  And the public exchange of what should be privately kept goes viral and many people and relationships are hurt.
Lord, we pray today that we will somehow regain the sense that there are moral absolutes by which to live, that most moral people do not approve of public sexual exploits, and that those who lead us should do so with the highest demonstration of moral standards.  May we live by much higher standards of virtue than we have been!
In Jesus name, Amen
