Today, we pray for the bedridden

Lord Jesus, today we surrender to You all our brothers and sisters who are disabled, paralysed pr comatose. We pray that You breathe healing into their nerves and bones.

And through the power of that prayer, may we always live in physical and emotional togetherness and love. Amen.

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

Let the anger, unforgiveness and hatred melt away when we are touched by You daily. Heal our tongues, Lord Jesus. Amen.

We pray that their babies are blessed. May the men who are to provide care and love, do so, with Your special touch. May Your angels, Saint Anne and Mother Mary give the mothers-to-be relief from their discomforts. Bless the women with safe and happy confinement and smooth...

Today, we pray for those facing intense trials

Lord Jesus, our Saviour, we need You now as we are struggling in the crucible of suffering. Lord, touch and bless each of us who are being tested through loss of people, loss of material things, illnesses, family problems, bondages, calamities, crisis situations, financial crunch, loneliness, loss of jobs, stress or fear. We wash all these away by the power of Your precious blood. May Your love bring us healing and peace, plus assurance, right now. Return everything we have lost, a million fold. Amen.
