‘Our Father’ and the global economy
A few months ago viewers around the world watched their TVs with concern as the United States Congress tried to find a way to avoid a budget crisis. We live in a global society these days, and people abroad knew that decisions taken by the US would have an impact on their economies, just as the continuing challenges in eurozone nations affect other parts of the globe. These conditions warrant our prayers.
A good friend recently reminded me that God knows nothing of recession, economic collapse, or financial crisis because His abundant resources supply spiritual ideas that meet all our needs. And He can do this for everyone because, as the Lord’s Prayer reminds us, He’s “our Father”!
When we see ourselves and others as God’s children, we are accepting the unity of humanity under one Father. Just as living in a global economy means that economic and business decisions half a world away can affect people in your community, effective prayer to see God as our Father can touch and bless us all.
