I expect you are thankful for your ability to smell and appreciate pleasant scents and the warning of unpleasant scents Michael.
I pray that you and I are use our sense of smell for good and not for evil and that we make wise choices as we choose things with scents, my brother-in-Christ SSG Michael Noll.
I lift veterans, service members, hospital staff, EMT personnel and each other person who has been exposed to noxious and/or dangerous smells of decomposition, burning materials, other strong smells that still, torments them. I pray that YOU take away the painful memories and grief associated from these experiences and allow these people to rest well without nightmares.
I pray LORD that YOU bless each one of YOUR adopted sons and daughters with uncommon god sense, kindness, compassion and endurance in doing good. Empower us to be selfless and less selfish and to bless others by providing things which smell good and quickly removing things which smell bad.
I pray LORD that we each communicate well with our spouse, children, friends and others to learn what scents they appreciate and what they find noxious about ourselves – including colognes, perfumes, bad breath and body odors.
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and their loved ones sleep well Friday night.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.
