Lord Jesus, today we pray for love – Your kind of sincere, gentle, giving, honest, consistent and sacrificial love to fill our hearts and lives. Thank You for Your love that surpasses all human understanding; the love which is food and medicine to our souls. Now help us pass it on, especially to our inner circle and those outside who need it the most. Let love not be manipulated or abused. A prayer for those whom we find hardest to love today. Amen.
Lord Jesus, today we bring to your our sins that took You to the cross. The disloyalty, anger, greed, unforgiving nature, arrogance, our harsh behaviour, bitter words, greed, neglect of family and friends, unwillingness to help our brethren, alcoholism, lying, cheating, gossip, abortion, wrong relationships, adultery and sexual sins, addictive sins and everything else that You alone are fully aware of. Lord, only Your Holy Spirit can heal us and make us new creations. We humbly kneel at the foot of Your rugged cross this day and plead Your blood of forgiveness over ourselves and our own. Amen.
Lord Jesus, on this day we bring to You each one of us and our brothers and sisters who are marking new beginnings. We pray that all of us are blessed mightily with breakthroughs – in our spiritual walk, family life, ministries, relationships, finances, careers, health, answers to long lost prayers and anything we may need it for – in life. We pray that fresh starts and mighty favour would come, timely and overwhelming, as we are at the next bends in our roads. Amen.
Lord Jesus, we pray for missionaries all over the world. Lord, we consecrate each one of them and their families and friends to Your Sacred Heart. We pray in particular for those stuck in faraway lands, surrounded by hostile forces. When troubles and turmoils come, be their strength. Give all of Your missionary servants the humility, simplicity, grace, honesty, dedication and most importantly, Your kind of love – that live up to their calling. Amen.
Lord Jesus, today we pray that Your power falls on us. May a heavy anointing of the Holy Spirit fall on each one of us – the young and the old, men and women and people from all walks of life. May the world come to see Your glory and the manifestation of it. May Your people come together in one Spirit to praise You as one church, one flock. May Your Spirit cleanse, heal and renew us all. Use us completely for You, Lord, after that. Amen.
