Psalm 66:7

DayLight Prayer – Gracious God. Thank you for this beautiful country that you have blessed me to live in. We, as a people, are strong and resilient, especially when we aim to follow you and the outlines of life that you enable us to see in Jesus. But sadly, some of our country men and women are oblivious to you, the poor, the needy, and the hurting. Since I know that you see exactly what is going on, my prayer today is for your mercy and grace to prevail over our land and to help each one of us to see beyond ourselves.  Amen.
