Lord Jesus, as we begin 2016, we come to You today with our deepest thirst – for Your Holy Spirit’s anointing. With infinite mercy, may God rain His Spirit down, forgive all our sins, release us from suffering, and restore us to health and His strength. May God cleanse us all, deliver us from all evil, preserve us in all goodness, and bring us to everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our only Saviour.

Today, we pray for widows, orphans and single parent families

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, friend, sibling, mother and father for them all. May Your love surround them 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.

So help us have the courage to make bold changes or major corrections if required, before its too late. May it really be a calling and not something to merely do with our lives.
