Let these precious people never harm themselves or others. May we not judge, but only support, in whatever way we can. Let them be set free forever from all emotional bondages, forever. Amen.

A prayer of mercy for those who are travelling or stuck at strange places, unable to reach home and for their loved ones far away. Let Your protection keep us safe, Jesus. Amen.

Those moments when prayers over our dreams, death, illnesses, relationships, people problems, crisis situations, jobs, our children, marriage, finances or any calamities – have been scary because of Your silence – we now declare You the only authority and the final word over them. Let Thy will be done and only Thine, forever and...

Today, we pray for those wanting to attend a retreat

Lord Jesus, today we bring to You each man, woman and child seeking to find You through a retreat. We pray that those who desperately wish to attend a retreat can do so, soon. Remove the hindrances, anxieties, people and negative circumstances that are blocking their plans. We surrender each person and their desire to know You fully – at the foot of the cross. May their cries reach Your ears today and may they get the deliverance only Your Holy Spirirt can give. Amen
