Lord if we ever need you, we need you now

Dear God: You are our Existence and Essence
Not sure of what it is like in heaven these days, but we are in a mess
With the pandemic, plummeting economy, and
Racial disharmony. Seems your teaching and the real are so far apart.
We thank you Father, for all you have blessed us.
Our loved ones, the sun, rain, moon and stars the source of life
God You are the source and recourse of life.
Breathe your life into our air and environment
Let our earth be fertile and our talents fruitful
Shine your sunlight on the seeds of life
Rain down goodness and kindness to all humankind
Birth your compassion into all human beings.
So we will nourish others as we want to be treated.
We give you thanks for all of our benefits
May your Son’s Love heal our brokenness
Trusting in You we will never be confounded.
