Heavenly Father: How good it is to know that by praying and asking You to grant us peace and help in this troubled world we can find rest. Please go with those areas that suffer from crimes and disturbances. This world desperately needs guidance So many young people are causing problems and Your help is needed. Guide the parents and give them much needed support to lead the young to do the right things. Bless those that serve in churches and Sunday Schools, may they teach the young about Your love and guidance. Take care of the law enforcement, protect them from danger. Bless the doctors and nurses as they take care of the sick. Thank you for the weather we deal with in our area. Help those facing losses due to storms. We ask these blessings in the name of Jesus. Amen
