With Tender Affection
Merciful Father,
Humbly, I approach You with devout thanks
for blessings bestowed on me and my family.
The world is in turmoil, suffering calamities.
Illness and death abounds, but Lord,
You continue to shelter us from all harm
and safeguard our health from a deadly virus.
My heart is filled with gratitude,
my provider, my righteous protector,
my shield from tears and pain,
although I am undeserving of Your kindness.
Your Word brings me great comfort
and the peaceful calm I piously seek.
My faith is bolstered by Your scripture.
The world around me is quickly changing.
Life's trials are becoming more intense,
but I do not cringe with fear amid the chaos,
for I have confidence in Your promises,
and with faith I will endure to the end.
Dear Father, with tender affection
I offer You my solemn prayer
through Jesus Christ, Your Son and my Savior,
who gave His life so sins could be forgiven.
Amen.
