Japan, As the Sun Rises

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, garland ... Corona Virus, COVID-19, or SARS-Cov-2, Thy Hand Is mighty and righteous, always Righteous, even in judgment We deserve judgment, but we ask for Mercy God of Grace and Love, forgiveness and Provisioning Forgive me my greed, envy, jealousy, smallness and scheming I intercede for others now, nations and peoples, as did Moses & Joshua Japan: guide, teach, help the people, the frontline workers, its leaders Not long ago, Japan had an earthquake that flooded a nuclear reactor What lesson is Nature, are You, teaching Japan and all of us, Father? All of us deserve judgment, we asked for it in many ways, but do forgive

I love how you've adapted this Italian sonnet structure to suit your needs as a prayer. It gives you great flexibility moving from topic to topic and in expressing your deep spirituality.
