              Heavenly Father, we are overwhelmed by the abundance of mercy and grace which You have so generously lavished upon us and all that concerns us. So we continue in Your mercy and grace as we seek resolution to the issues that separate us.

              Give us insight beyond our years, understanding beyond our intellect and skill beyond our natural ability.
