Today, we pray for those on the verge of giving up

Lord Jesus, we bring to You those who have really reached the end of their tether. For those of us who want to give up on our faith, church-going, family life, relationships, work, friendships, ministry and any other task entrusted to us. We lift each one of us today to Your Presence in a special way, for that anointing and grace which only You can give. Send us angels to help us, Lord.  When we face harsh judgement, loneliness, illness and rejection, let us know that its not from You, but from Your creations or the evil one. Help us...

Today, we pray for our friends

Lord Jesus, today we thank You for the angels we call our friends. Bless, sanctify, heal and strengthen our friendships. We praise You and glorify You for their love and support – the friend in school, the one who shared secrets in college, the colleague who always lend an ear and the stranger who became the most integral part of our lives. May they never see distress, but always be Your witnesses of love, peace and joy. Bless all our friends, Lord. Amen.
