O Heavenly Parent,
In this season of Lent and week of prayer for the healing of AIDS, we are sorrowfully mindful of Your Son's historical suffering and death for all of humankind; and we also tearfully lament the historical suffering and death of an estimated 36 million people from the pandemic of AIDS since the first cases were reported.
Oh Grand and Gracious God, Thou who has been called Jehovah by my Grandmother, A Battle Axe in a Storm by my Grandfather, and Great Healer by my Mama, I simply start my beseeching by calling you Holy One!
Heavenly Father,
Our Dear Lord and God,
Holy and gracious God,
