Please pray for our recent world events. Please pray that everyone, especially all the world’s leaders, are blessed with compassion and a desire to connect with God, and to follow Him. Lord, please guide those that lead us.
Please also pray for a friend who lost her remaining son. She has lost so much already in such a short period of time. Lord, please hold her and her grandson in your loving arms.
Please also pray for a friend who is having surgery next week. Lord, please guide the surgeon’s hands and provide her body with what she needs to recover completely.
Finally, Lord, please give all of us the strength to face whatever is front of us and keep our eyes on You.
In Jesus’ name. Amen
Blessings to all!
