Dear God, King on High, Maker of Earth and all creation. I praise and thank You for this day.
*f Wait and Pray
O Lord, Hear my plea, help me, save me. It’s dark and I am sad. I am alone in the crowds and lonely when I am alone. You can rescue me. You love me. You protect me. Send an angel. I wait and I pray.
