Holy Spirit, thank you for guiding me through the day; please help me to grow stronger in faith and spirit that I may grow closer to God. Help me to overcome my weaknesses for I am weak; to learn patience and understanding and not hold ill feelings toward those who I may come into conflict. I pray that you will help the children who are in distress; guide and keep my family safe.
I thank you Father, for all that you have given me in my life, including the earth, nature and wildlife in its beauty as you created it. I thank you for my spouse (name) who I love dearly, and for our children. I thank you for all of my family, my friends, and for the time I shared with my departed loved ones; and I thank you for your Son, my Lord, Jesus Christ; thank you my Lord for the sacrifices you made for us.
I beg your forgiveness and mercy Dear Lord, for the sins I have committed and I pray the guidance and grace of the Holy Spirit to help me overcome my weaknesses that I may be your good and faithful servant. Holy Spirit, guide your Church and the vicar of Our Lord. May it always be reconciled by and to Our Lord, Jesus Christ, who is our High Priest. We pray for the conversion of sinners; the reunification of your faithful; the purification from sin for the souls awaiting heaven and the safety of the faithful from unjust harm.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end, Amen.

Law against circumcision? Fatally Apathetic
Another example of the perverted society we have developed and history will define us by;
Abortion is acceptable but circumcision, a religious rite as practiced (as an example) by the Jewish faith,"must be outlawed". It should be eyebrow raising why this is even on a congressional agenda during a time of such diverse human and financial crises?
It should also be noted how many in the federal government including the president are so interested in producing laws that would break down the rights of religions to practice and serve in their faith through public media and now target religious rites thousands of years in worship and practice.
Pardon this display of frustration, but many in our society have become so fatally apathetic toward our own rights we have refined apathy to its perfection. ...Social priorities. God help us all.
They promise them freedom, though they themselves are slaves of corruption, for a person is a slave of whatever overcomes him. (2 Peter CH2; v19)

why Suffering and Death Lord?
With the suffering or loss of a loved one or our own suffering in this human existence, even those who are not in what would be considered a close relationship with Christ will find them self praying to God asking why these things occur. “Why oh Lord, did you bring this upon me?”; “why did you allow this suffering?”; “why do you ignore my prayers?”; why did you not intercede for me?"
It is most common for us to blame our Lord for these pains and sufferings, whether of our lost loved ones or illnesses, but most often we do this without realizing God’s will and our suffering are conflicts in themselves.
