Lord Jesus, we surrender to you all the people who use their tongues to speak lies and cause discord. Lord, when gossip is being formulated and used, be the unbreakable shield who we rely on. We especially pray for those who tell tales and cause deep rifts; for everyone who meddles into our lives or has gossiped about us. A prayer for the society, community and family that we live in. Bless us all, Lord Jesus. 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 Pentecost. Lord Jesus, turn our worst disappointments into Your biggest miracles. Amen.
Lord Jesus, today we bring to You, all Your children who are homemakers. Lord, they often do the unpaid, thankless service no one wants to do, and do it lifelong. We thank You for these wonderful women and men who choose their families and those needs before their own success and a probable career. We bless their work worn hands, Jesus. A special prayer for the mums and dads and relatives and administrators who have made our own homes and institutions true homes of selfless love. Amen.
Lord Jesus, on this day we bring to You our siblings – our own brothers and sisters and those we consider as siblings. We pray that every blessing may be theirs – good health, great family life, proper finances, lovely friendships and all that Your loving heart seems good, Jesus. Thank You Lord, for this indescribable gift of them. A special prayer for those among them who are still unsaved – those who do not believe in You. Amen.
Lord Jesus, on this Easter Sunday, we pray that Your resurrection will come alive in our lives. We need Your Spirit to set fire to our hearts once again. May dead relationships be rekindled, lost finances be regained, let whatever we have lost be returned double-fold in every area of our lives. May this Easter be real for each one of us, especially in our spiritual walk with You, Precious Jesus, my saviour. Amen.
