Today, we pray for the bedridden

Lord Jesus, today we bring to the foot of Your cross, all our brothers and sisters who are tied to their beds. We pray that Your Holy Spirit brings strength back to their limbs and that they will rise and walk. We believe that by Your stripes they are healed. Lord, help them in their unbelief any time they waver. We also pray for the ones waiting on these friends, that they may obtain Your courage to serve in love. Be with them in their low points and highs, Lord Jesus. Amen.

Today, we pray for those in debt

Lord Jesus, today we pray for the grace to be free from debt. Lord, help us to honour You first with our money. Whatever we earn, let the first fruits be Yours. May our brothers and sisters who are facing debts, loans, mortgages, crisis situations or loss of jobs – be helped in time, by Your angels. Give us financial blessings. Amen.

Today, we pray for those who hurt us through their words

Lord Jesus, there is no one who uses the power of words to heal as much as You do. We pray for Christians who inflict deep wounds with their tongue, without a care for others’ feelings. We pray that the ones who are at the receiving end can heal, forgive and forget too, by Your grace. May we become the kind of people who are gentle and loving in our speech. Let the anger, unforgiveness and hatred in us, the wounded, melt away when we are touched by You daily. Heal our tongues. Amen.

Today, we pray for our un-uttered longings

Lord Jesus, today we bring to You that one prayer which is dearest to our hearts. The silent one, the ache and the doubt that accompanies the wait for it to be answered. The one which we cannot share with anybody else in the world. Lord, sometimes we do not even know if its a right prayer in Your eyes. We are tired of the wait and the struggle. We pray that You will understand our silent prayer and honour the deepest desires of our hearts, if its in Your will. And make the wait end very soon. Amen.

Today, we pray for all the busybodies and gossips

Lord Jesus, we surrender to you all the people who use their tongues to speak lies. Lord, when gossip is being formulated and used, be the unbreakable shield 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 that we live in. Bless. Amen.
