Let us pray together
Our Father, we come to You together for the Northern Mariana Islands. Comfort and strengthen the people of Saipan, Tinian and Rota after storm upon storm this year, and provide shelter, food and work for every family. Give wisdom and integrity to those in authority and to all who will vote for a new governor. Let the love of Jesus be known among every people on these islands. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
