Today, we pray for missionaries

Lord Jesus, as we have marked another World Mission Sunday, we pray for missionaries all over the world. Lord, we consecrate each one of them and their families and friends to Your Sacred Heart.

Today, we pray for the mentally ill

Lord Jesus, today we bring to You our brothers and sisters who are mentally unstable. Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name we pray that they will be delivered and saved from destruction. Let schizophrenia, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, fear, psychosis, neurosis, depression and all kinds of mental illness be routed from our families and communities. Let these people never harm themselves or others. Let them be set free from all emotional bondages, forever. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
