Today, we pray for persecuted Christians

Lord Jesus, today we bring to You our brothers and sisters who are being tortured and murdered for their faith in You. Lord, let Your mercy and healing flow – into the prosecuted and the prosecutors. May the ones who harm us, know that to know You, is to love, serve and speak about You. May Your name be glorified and spread across the world every second. A special prayer for the souls of those martyred for Christian faith and for their families. May Thy church grow without bounds, Jesus. Amen.

Today, for everyone who has ever asked us for prayers

Lord Jesus, today we bring to You people who have requested our prayer support. The friend, the member of the family, the acquaintance, the colleague, the neighbour and the stranger – we bring them all to the foot of Your cross today, seeking that Your mighty Holy Spirit will touch them, heal their hearts and refresh their spirits. Answer their needs today, whatever they may be, Oh Jesus. May no prayer ever return unanswered. Bless them and their own. Thank You for giving us an opportunity to intercede for them. Give us more chances to be a blessing to them....

Today, we pray for childless couples

Lord Jesus, today we bring to You all Your children who are longing to hold a baby in their arms. Lord, we pray for mercy. We pray for the grace to trust You and for strength, if the wait has been long. May all marriage beds be kept holy. Forgive all the sins couples have committed against their spirit, soul and body. We pray that more and more childless men and women will be open to giving orphans a home. May their cries for a complete family of their own be heard, Lord Jesus. Amen.

Today, we pray for the lonely

Dear God, loneliness is the first thing that Your eyes seemed as not right. We pray for those among us who are living alone in this world – the singles, the married singles, the elderly, the ostracised and the rejected. We pray that Your presence will surround us when we are at our loneliest point in our lives. We pray that You will provide us with the right partners to share Your loving touch and voice with. Give us the grace and the hearts to seek out the lonely and be a genuine friend. Amen.

Today, we pray for those of us struggling to pray

Lord Jesus, today we entrust to Your Sacred Heart, each person around the world who is struggling to pray. Whether we are unable to pray because of a lack of time or a lack of spiritual intimacy with You, may Your one touch heal us all. Fill us with peace from You, Father God. May we never give up when our emotions or circumstances lie to us that You are not present. May Your angels surround us and nudge us back to You. Fill us with Your Holy Spirit. Amen.
