Dearest Lord,

Thank you for my children's birthdays celebrated this year. Thank you for the life you have given them. I pray that they will grow up to be close to You, healthy, intelligent, and kindhearted. Thank you for all the many blessings that you continue to shower on our family. You have never left us alone.

I also pray in a special way the deaths in my friends' families of late. May they be comforted that their loved ones will be saved and are with you looking down lovingly on them.

Help me Lord to learn the lessons on financial management to better allocate my resources and time. Help us and my friends undergoing financial difficulties. We trust in you.

In Your Holy Name we pray, AMEN.
