Lord of all Blessings

Lord of all blessings, watch over our friends and relatives. Guide a good tenant to our friend who needs to rent his apartment. Provide offers of good jobs with adequate health care to those who seek work. Protect those who need assistance, in order to continue to live independently, from those who seek to take advantage of their situation. Give influence to leaders at all levels to those who have the welfare of the people in mind when casting their votes or making decisions. We ask in Jesus name, Amen (Richard E. Henthorn) 1/Aug/2010 9:01
