Lord Jesus, You taught us a valuable lesson about loving those who hate us. We now pray for each person whom we have harmed and who has harmed us in any way. Sweet Jesus, let Your healing and love flow. Let peace be established. May Your children stop hurting each other through our thoughts, words and deeds. Bless each one of our enemies mightily today. Specially bless our family and friends – any of our dearest ones who treat us like enemies now. Amen.
Lord Jesus, today we bring to You our disappointments with God, the Church and especially fellow Christians. The many tears, the countless unanswered prayers, the endless waiting for a miracle from heaven, the abuse we suffer from others – we surrender them all to You, Lord; not with anger, but with true submission and humility. We identify ourselves with Your apostles and Mother Mary, who waited and mourned before that glorious resurrection Sunday. Lord Jesus, turn our worst disappointments into Your biggest miracles. Amen.
Lord Jesus, today we pray for our brothers and sisters living imprisoned all over the world. Break the bonds of sin, fear and isolation that exist within their hearts and jail cells. We pray for more love, more forgiveness and more prison outreach ministries to help them mend their ways. We pray they hear about You, Lord Jesus and for Your angels to aid their families. A special prayer for the innocent. O Divine Prisoner of the Sanctuary, hear their prayers and tears which rise to You from the confines of their walls. Amen.
Lord Jesus, we surrender to You those of us who are suffering today because of silly misunderstandings. We pray that Your love penetrates into our very souls and heals the wounds which run deep. May we believers learn to rebuke the devil and stay away from his tactics. May our relationships be blessed more and more. Break Satan’s web of lies and strife, especially between ministers, family and friends, Lord Jesus. May rifts be healed and let love surpass everything. Amen.
Lord Jesus, today we pray for some of the ignored in our society – the widows, widowers, orphans and single parents. We pray that You will be the absent spouse, sibling, friend, mother and father for them all. Cover them with Your mantle of love when they are at their lowest. May Your Holy Spirit give them inner strength, courage and joy. May angels be at their service when they need them. Bless their families and friends too mightily, Lord. Forgive the ones who reject them and cause them suffering. Amen.
