Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, giving thanks for the gift of life that you have bestowed upon us. We lift up our brothers and sisters in war-torn countries before you, Lord. We ask that you be their strength and comfort in the midst of their trials and tribulations. May your light of love shine upon those who have not yet known you, Father, and may they come to experience the peace that only you can give.
In your mighty name, Jesus, we pray. Amen.
