Prayers First

Body
GOD first....Heavenly Father , You have given us gifts and blessings throughout each day that are mostly unknown and which we receive through Your Amazing Grace despite our sins. It is given freely without being asked through prayers. We only ask through our prayers for particular needs of others around us, for those we know who are having terrible times, and for the many who are suffering. We know you give us all we need and only ask for forgiveness. We pray in the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
