Hear it on Sunday, Use it on Monday Psalm 67:5

Psalm 67:5
May the nations be glad and shout for joy;
for you govern the peoples justly,
you guide the nations upon the earth.

Just a quick thought about this psalm verse from yesterday's readings.  With all the problems that you hear about with the governments and human suffering both in our country and in so many other countries around the world this just seems like the perfect prayer.  Sometimes when I think about so many of these problems I can't even see a solution even if everyone would agree.  I feel frustrated and helpless.  This seems like the perfect simple prayer for those times.

Dear Lord, May the nations be glad and shout for joy; for you govern the peoples justly, you guide the nations upon the earth.
