Openness is not my strong point! I'm very reluctant to let people in which is evident of how long it took me to respond to people even in this group! I'm working on it like so many others! Wishing and praying for everyone to have a happy and healthy day!

I expect you are spiritually mature enough to being more transparent to share your experiences and how your faith in God has enabled you to persevere through the challenges of life Mark.
I pray that you and I recognize the ‘voice’ of the Holy Spirit as HE prompts us to demonstrate our faith in God to whomever HE guides towards, my brother-in-Christ PVT Mark Zehner.
I lift each of YOUR adopted sons and daughters to YOU. I pray that we each trust YOUR word and YOUR guidance and that we are becoming more open to YOU as we tell YOU are deepest desires and hopes. Thank YOU for pruning the desires that are not in accordance with what is best for us and replacing them with desires YOU shall fulfill in YOUR perfect timing.
I pray that we are mature enough to share what YOU have brought us through, what helped us personally and how we made mistakes that could be avoided to each person and family who are going through similar periods of testing.
I pray that the Chinese government officials will soon be open to sharing the details of the coronavirus 19 epidemic in China, which age groups were infected, treatment that helped, survival rates of the groups, and any other information which help other nations dealing with this virus.
I lift the federal authorities, medical researchers, EMT personnel, the individuals being vaccinated in the coronavirus 19 human trials and others involved in treatment, care for and protection from coronavirus 19. I pray for openness among the agencies and researchers to share what is working, contraindications, and other relevant information.
I pray that YOU bless each of the coronavirus 19 researchers with wisdom and endurance to develop effective treatment for this coronavirus and an ability to quickly develop treatment for future strains.
I pray that parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends, and extended families will soon be able to take shopping trips and stop for a meal without fear of becoming infected by coronavirus 19.
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and their loved ones sleep well Thursday night.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.
