I pray now for these intentions and I offer them up to the Lord, for by him, all good is possible:
- Please help countries such as Canada, the United States of America, Mexico, Panama, Honduras, Haiti, Brazil, Cuba, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, Chile, China, Russia, Korea, Japan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, India, Myanmar, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Australia, New Zealand, Turkey, Greece, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Ethiopia, South Africa, Tanzania, Mozambique, Kenya, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Egypt, Sudan, South Sudan, Madagascar, Ivory Coast, and many other nations may work towards greater protection of their natural heritages. That they may undo the damages caused by destructive mining, large dams, horrible and unsustainable agriculture and water projects, pollution, deforestation, and poorly planned infrastructure projects. Bless them also to stop these detrimental projects and help them work towards greater environment, ecosystem, and biodiversity maintenance and restoration in order to protect and restore the vital services that these ecosystems provide for their people, their economies, and nature. That they may also strongly and clearly work towards halting and reversing the negative effects of climate change.
- Please bless the Great Bear Rainforest and Spirit Bear Coast, so that they may be protected from the horribly planned Northern Gateway Pipeline. That you may aid and support those working to protect this natural gem of Canada. Please help Stephen Harper, Peter Kent, Joe Oliver, and Harper’s Government see that the problems that this pipeline would bring would far outweigh its benefits. Help them work towards better environmental protection and true sustainability for the best interests of the Canadian people.
- Please bless our Obra Negosyo team of USPF with our upcoming presentation tomorrow. Give us the clarity of mind, focus, energy, and will to present our presentation well to the panel of judges. Help us also in the rest of the activities that we will need to do for Obra Negosyo Eskwela in the coming months, because these months will also be critical in the judging for the activity and for the improvement of Mam Myrna’s business. Help us in improving the quality of life of Mam Myrna’s family and community through the work that we shall endeavour to do in the coming months. For regardless of whether we win in this competition, as long as we can help make a difference in improving the quality of life of Mam Myrna and her community that alone could be the greatest victory we can achieve through this competition.
- Please bless the Arctic and its unique wildlife and ecosystems. Please also bless the Antarctic and protect both from oil drilling that would damage these snowy wonderlands. Please also protect the Bristol Bay watershed from destructive projects such as the Pebble mine, which would potentially damage the water and fish resources of Alaska.
- Please bless the Brazilian Amazon and the people and tribes who depend on it. Bless them in protecting the rivers and forests from large dams, deforestation, and unsustainable agriculture. Please help Edison Lobao and Dilma Rousseff see the many problems that would make large dams and the revised Forestry Code illogical, irresponsible, undoable, and detrimental to the nation and the economy. Bless the Brazilian Government in protecting and restoring its many rivers and forests. Also, should dams such as Santo Antonio prove unusable or unlikely to work, please bless the Brazilian Government to immediately remove or stop these dams.
- Please bless the forests, swamps, rivers, wetlands, and mangroves of Southeast Asia, such as those in Brunei, Myanmar, Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Papua New Guinea. Help these countries stop unsustainable agricultural such as destructive palm oil monocultures and help them promote and create a more lucrative and sustainable way of doing agriculture with the land already available, rather than promoting more deforestation for palm oil. Please help them also prevent illegal logging and poaching and aid them in reforestation and endangered species recovery. Also, please help the countries through which the Mekong flows in stopping and preventing development of harmful dams and in curbing pollution and overfishing in the river. Please help them realize the benefits of protecting nature, which can be helpful for the economy and for uniting the people.
- Please help the dad of sir Joem, who is now diagnosed with Cancer. Please help him in having a swift recovery. Cleanse his body of the life-threatening ailment and help the Antonio family through this challenging time. Heal him, both through body and spirit, and bless him and his family. Whatever happens from here on, please grant them your blessings, especially to sir Joem’s dad.
- Please bless China and India in protecting and restoring the various ecosystems within their boundaries, such as Poyang Lake, the Yangtze River Basin, the Argus Swamps, the Western Ghats, the Ganges-Brahmaputra River Basin, the Eastern Ghats, the various biomes and ecosystems of the Himalayas, and the estuaries of the Bay of Bengal. Bless them in finding ways to give stronger emphasis on protection and restoration of these natural wonders and help them in discovering ways to strengthen their economies without sacrificing the health of the environment and the quality of life that a healthy environment brings to the people.
- Please bless the Chinese Government in respecting human, indigenous, and religious rights. Help them to realize that doing these will help in unifying the nation, which would ultimately lead to greater progress in all aspects. Please let them allow Dr. Hu Zhicheng to go home to his family in California soon, as he has wrongfully been barred from leaving because of a questionable order by the Tianjin government. Please also help the Chinese people as a whole attain the recognition, freedom, respect, and good representation that they rightfully deserve.
- Please bless the Philippines in protecting and restoring its unique mix of environments and ecosystems from destructive mines, dams, illegal logging, and poor infrastructure planning. Also, please bless the indigenous people and poor of our country so that their rights may be protected. In the case of the indigenous peoples, please help them in having their lands restored and protected. In the case of the poor, please help the government in providing them good homes and opportunities for livelihood that would bring them out of poverty and give them dignity. Please also bless the Philippine Government in strengthening its protection of our natural heritage and support those who work towards protecting our rich and diverse natural heritage.
- Please bless the rivers, lakes, oceans, coral reefs, forests, mountains, plains, arctic habitat, subterranean habitat, sky, and biodiversity of our world. Grant your blessing unto these integral parts of the environment so that they may be protected, maintained, and restored. May more people come to realize that it is very possible for development to coincide with a pristine and healthy environment and that such an environment can even be conducive for stronger, more efficient, and more inclusive development that benefits man and nature.
- Please bless Erin Locsin. Keep her happy and may you bless her in whatever she undertakes. Likewise, bless her and her family with whatever problems that they may have. I may not know the exact nature of the problems that she has with her family, but even, please grant her peace and reconciliation with her family and that she may also experience love coming from her family and that her family may also experience love from her.
- Please bless me with a good partner in life. Whoever she may be (Be it Lexi, Erin, Christine, or anyone else I have met or will meet), may we be able to benefit from each other and learn from each other. May I help her in any way that she needs help and may she help me in becoming a better person. Likewise, may the woman who would potentially become my wife be accepting of who I am and that I may accept who she is and may we raise a family that is honest, upright, God-fearing, and strong.
- Please bless me in sticking to my commitments, to make good on my promises, and to ensure that I do my best in not repeating the mistakes of my past. That I may also not lose heart whenever I do something that could be considered important for myself and my fellow man.
So now I offer these petitions to you, having faith in your holy and righteous will, for by your will, all good is possible and can be done.
Amen.
