Europe, Blessings I Pray, For E Nations - and the Euro

OCTAVE:
LORD, this morning, thank you. This SONnet will please, tease, release:
I greet thee, having access to Your throne by Jesus
And His sacrifice on Calvary: We pray against the Virus
With a sunshiny name, an aura of a name, "a garland" ...
Corona Virus, COVID-19, or SARS-Cov-2, Thy Hand
Is mighty and righteous, always Righteous, even in judgment
God of Grace and Love, forgiveness and Provisioning
Forgive me my greed, envy, jealousy, smallness and scheming

SESTET:
I intercede for others now, nations and peoples, as did Moses & Joshua
Ethiopia, guide, teach, help Ethiopia ... leaders there, who are fair;
All of Europe, I know you won't mind some repeats
Bless little Eritrea, so steeped in civil war, now at peace
Bless all peoples in nations that begin with the letter "E"
In heart of America, Ecuador, where we go to Galapagos, as did Darwin ...
We forgive tourists & others as we're forgiven! CORONA time when unity begins
