There are so many other needs that we do not even know, but we believe that you are aware of them all. We believe that the same God who parted the Red Sea can deliver us, too. We believe that the same God who fed 5,000 can provide for our needs. We pray that the same God who rose Lazarus from the dead can restore our brokenness. You are good. You are loving. You are faithful. We know that you can do all things so we ask that you will bring healing to our land.
In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.
