Thank you for what you do for me each and every day and for that which I fail to notice. Thank you for taking care of my family, friends, and acquaintances. I ask that you shield and protect them and guide them in this life. Bring them safely home to you. Let them know that you are there for them. Never let me forget your presence in my life and guide me safely through this life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dear Heavenly Father, help me be the light others need for them to come home to You, never to have my light under a bushel basket. Help others find peace within. I ask that You shield and protect our country, our political officials, our clergy, and everyone throughout the world. Help those who are in positions of influence, like those above, and entertainers and sports figures, realize Your love and show Your love towards others and fulfill their duties as members of Your family. Help their light to shine brightly so that others can come within your presence. Help us to see each other as You see each of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I ask for the conversion all sinners and have mercy for the souls in purgatory. I pray that you heal the sick if it be your will. I pray that you help those who are having a hard time. Help them walk with you through those trials and tribulations in their life. Thank you, Lord, for the life you have given me. I ask that your angels fight fiercely against the powers of evil that beset our world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:600\">Heavenly Father, we lift up the people of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/place\/American-Samoa\/History\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">American Samoa<\/a> to You. We want to thank you for their unique way of life and political status.  This has allowed them to enjoy the fruits of being a US unincorporated territory and being US nationals without being citizens. Their way of life has allowed them to respect their elders and enjoy family and community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Lord, may Your presence be felt among the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.americansamoa.travel\/our-islands\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">American Samoa<\/a>, help them get better educational system so that each individual person will have a brighter future. Lord they need help with getting more updated medical equipment, increasing the availability of specialized care, and addressing any health disparities found within their country.  Give the guardian angel of the American Samoa strength to help each person and their political official reach their fullest potential. Dear Jesus, Holy Spirit, and Our Lord be good to these people. We thank you for taking care of them.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dear Lord, help everyone who is awake at this hour of the night find rest. We ask that you help these people who are on the prayer list, including those mentioned earlier, as well as those on the <a href=\"http:\/\/my-all-about-you.com\/what-do-i-have-to-give\/prayer-requests\/\">prayer list<\/a> on this website: Dennis S, Vickie T, Corey T, Meaghan T, Paige V, Kevin W., and everyone else on the list, as well as any intentions held within our hearts and already mentioned.
