Father, in these times of war, hunger and distraction, make your presence clear to those who need guidance. Allow our hearts to open so we may unite and achieve peace amongst the world, within our families, and in ourselves. Father I ask that you bestow more love than hate into your children so we may overcome the negative as a whole and unite as brothers and sisters rather than argue as men and women. Father, safeguard the helpless, and inspire your children to do the same. please protect your children who are suffering and starving across the world due to war and famine. In Jesus name Amen.

-Julia Green, Miramichi, Canada
