My Prayers Today

I thought I would share my prayers from this morning ...

"Heavenly Father, our world is in crisis and many are dying. I know that you see, I know that you understand the reasons why. I totally believe that you are sovereign. Show us Lord, what to do, teach us, humble us, grant us your wisdom.
