Dear Heavenly Father,
Thanks for the memories of dear family members who have died !
Thanks for providing for them, giving blessings to each one through their years !
Help me remember those good times, challenges, opportunities, places we were !
Blessings we ask for the rest of us, who are still here. We smile and also shed tears !
These days many bad worldwide reports we read and hear; they dominate the news.
More problems, big troubles ahead in the world, but we do trust in You.
We are confronted by fear, anger, new sickness, terrible confusion !
Provide and help us every day with wisdom —what to believe, to say, and to do !
Show us as we open the Bible more than we knew when we were little kids.
Give us greater understanding of what happened then — and why and how.
We want grow in confidence in Your love, salvation, and provision.
Help us to grow in faith and trust and love — and that’s what I need now.
I pray now for family and friends, each one I remember by name;
You know each one’s situation, and please bless and meet their needs today.
I love You, and thank You, and praise You ! I look forward to being in Heaven !
I pray this now in Jesus’ name — with great appreciation all this I say.
AMEN
