Agree with me, in prayer

Father, we are in trouble. Have mercy on us, O Lord, and our children. Comfort and bless these families. Send a fresh anointing, your sustaining Grace,and the knowledge of your presence. Heal hearts, minds, and bodies. In Jesus' precious name, provide us with the wisdom to parent and nurture our children as you would have us do. As you stilled the stormy seas of Galilee, still now the rage within our hearts?
Calm the winds of fear and hurt that trouble our faith. Help us Lord to help one another. Amen
