Prayer for today (2/18/16)

Dear Jesus, thank you for another day. May your will be present in my life today. Jesus, so many people are experiencing heartaches in this world. Grief seems to touch our very soul; the pain is so intense. I pray that you will be with those who are suffering. Give them the needed strength and courage to face each day. Let them know to kneel and give you all their heartaches. You are the only one who can touch their heart and take the pain away. Jesus, be with our troubled world and shine your light upon us. We are so very much in need of your almighty power. Thank you for loving each and every one of us.
