Dear God, loneliness is the first thing that Your eyes seemed as not right. We pray for those among us who are living alone in this world – the singles, the married singles, the elderly, the ostracised and the rejected. We pray that Your presence will surround us when we are at our loneliest point in our lives. We pray that You will provide us with the right partners to share Your loving touch and voice with. Give us the grace and the hearts to seek out the lonely and be a genuine friend. Amen.

Lord Jesus, today we entrust to Your Sacred Heart, each person around the world who is struggling to pray. Whether we are unable to pray because of a lack of time or a lack of spiritual intimacy with You, may Your one touch heal us all. Fill us with peace from You, Father God. May we never give up when our emotions or circumstances lie to us that You are not present. May Your angels surround us and nudge us back to You. Fill us with Your Holy Spirit. Amen.

Lord Jesus, on this day we bring to You our brothers and sisters who are awaiting new beginnings. We pray that they are blessed mightily with breakthroughs – in their spiritual walk, family life, finances, careers, health, answers to long lost prayers and anything they may need it for – in life. We pray that a fresh start would come to each one of us, timely and overwhelming. Amen.
