“Lord, God bless you in Jesus name. Today, I pray for safe travels from church and back, I pray that you bring me knowledge and understanding, I pray that you allow me to meet new people and share my kindness and love, I pray that my brothers will get dressed on time and my mom won’t stress. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.”
