Dear Heavenly Father, we are forever thankful for the many blessings we receive and we give all the glory to You. As we hear of the news of Christians worldwide who experience trials and tribulations, we are reminded of our duty to share in their burdens. We thank you for your guidance on this and we send prayers for our fellow man knowing that you will hear our requests. We pray that you comfort those in need of comfort and rescue those in need of rescue. We know that we are not in this battle alone because You are by our side. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
