    Father, Creator, King of kings, Savoirs, and Righteous Judge, Etc. The offer to You now many thanks, and praise. Your are worthy of these snd more. I lift up the people of the B.V.I, I also am a citizen. Like heathens have, and continue to practice unrighteousness over time, so have we. Because of our romance with the God of sin, we like others people of others are harvesting the sour, and bitter fruits of our own doings. In the religious gatherings, particular on the first day of the week, whish is called Sunday, well offer to You mostly flattering praises, and have subjected Your places of worship for our own personal intertainments, ane egotistic aspirations. Our Political have not seek Your face, as You have disire of them. Rather than seek You for guidance through the stormy paths of life, we have depended on others and self, in disregards to Your knowledge, wisdom power for deliverance. Your are full of love, compassion and mercy. But until we change our mind, and turn away for our sinful ways, THE BEATING WILL CONTINUE UNTIL GOGLY MORALS IMPROVE. May we wisely and quickly honestly seek You as our refuge and protector, rather than seeking man's help as our projectors. Until we let go of self centeredness, and embrace You as the ultimate true Leader, troubles will overcome us, rather than we overcome them. I offer this prayer in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.
