Our father God, creator of heaven and earth, have mercy on our land Dominica, I ask for divine protection against the elements of nature itself, You Lord are able to direct and redirect the course of raging winds, and boisterous floods of rushing water. My father, you are the God of a second chance, and so I stand in the gap asking of you to give us, to give the island of Dominica, to give the people of Dominica a second. A chance to rebuild and develop our economy, to thrive in an environment of psychological, emotional, domestic, social rest and comfort. Father, as a natural seed of the soil, today I rightfully position myself before you bringing our land and country by name, “Dominica”, as a living sacrifice, as a vessel of honor fit for service unto you. Help us, and show us your mercy. Dominica shall forever be grateful unto you my father. So in thanksgiving we say to you our father “thank you”, in Jesus name we pray Amen, and Amen, and let all say AMEN!!!!.
