“Our God in Heaven,

During this period where the world is facing total chaos, I am asking you to help me to;

appreciate what I have and to value my priorities.

But, also to be grateful for the people who support and love me.

I see what is happening in the world today and find it difficult to distinguish the good in the world.

It is during such times that we often forget to be kind, to give, instead of take, and to bring love to the world.

It is only now, that I realise how important it is to seize the day, every day!

I pray that you will guide me to understand myself better, and to please help me to realise what is the most relevant and important in my life.

To discern, not only who I need and what I need, but most importantly provide me with courage to be productive and constructive. We may not understand why certain things are happening and when or how to make the choices which influence our lives.

How do I go forward, when the world faces a pandemic, economic instability and currently, a horrific war as well, where so many people are experiencing depression and anxiety, besides the loss of life and livelihoods.

I ask that You guide me in my actions and my thoughts, and help me to understand what and who are the most important in my life, in order to create a life that is pure and coordinated and to live by grace and love.

We are all vulnerable, and thus I need Your strength and faith in me to continue with a meaningful, yet positive, creative and constructive life.

I ask this not because I am worthy of Your love but out of Your grace and sacrifices for us.

Amen”
