Dear God,

This feels kinda weird right now. All these people here have a desire to know you and follow you. Our leaders need you. The entire world needs you. Please give us wisdom and rid our country of our sin so that we can be effective for you in executing your will. Please hear us as we pray for peace and for those who are sick and going through so many struggles right now. Be with those who are mourning the loss of loved ones, like BS and her family. All the people we've mentioned here need your help and your comfort. But most of all, they need a right relationship with you. Use me to inspire and encourage and help these folks here. I'm very grateful for this time. I look forward to getting to know these people better.

You know our needs before we speak them. Your disciples in Israel and Palestine need your help now - please protect them.

Thank you for hearing us. Help us to change and repent so that we can please you. Use me and my family, in our neighborhood, schools, and workplaces, to bring you glory and praise, that your grace will be more evident.

In Jesus' name, Amen.
