Lord you know our needs before we ask them. You are the God of this earth and everything in it. We live to bring glory to your name. This morning we need to bring are prayers and requests for LaLa's family, we ask that you bring a quick recovery to these two people, that you put your arm around this family and allow them peace during this difficult time. You are the great healer Lord and we thank you in advance for your awesome power. Amen
