- For the Royal Family, as they seek to set aside their internal strife in order to praise the memory of the late Queen.  

- For those whose emotions have been stirred to anger and rage with the sovereign's death due to past traumas whose pain they still feel

- For those reeling from the untimely deaths of loved ones, in stories that make the news as well as those that do not

- For the cold, the hungry, the needy, the lonely, the isolated, the helpless, the hopeless, the lost; may they find the blessings of God in the face of another of His children, somehow, some way.
