Lord Jesus, today we bring to You those who are newly married. Jesus, as these men and women step into a new chapter of their lives, we pray that Your grace will cover them, Your love strengthen them. May they learn to love, forgive and bless each other more – as years go by. Bless them to grow old together. Amen.
Lord Jesus, today we bring to You those who are admitted in hospitals. Jesus, only You can heal them with Your special touch. We raise their friends, families and carers into Your mighty hands. We specially pray for those who have undergone surgeries and are recuperating. May their pain be lessened and their healing quickened. Bless and comfort them, Lord. Amen.
Lord Jesus, today we bring to You those who are addicted to alcohol. Jesus, only You can heal these men and women who are caught in the web of intoxication. We pray that our youth especially, are protected from falling into this temptation. A special prayer for the spouses, parents and children of alcoholics. May our homes and organisations be places where individuals can celebrate without drinking. Heal the addicts. Amen.
Lord Jesus, on this day we specially lift unto You those who are caring for the ill – doctors, nurses and full time carers. Jesus, may they see You in the ones they are treating. Let medicine not become a business, but the biggest channel of Your divine love. May Your mercy and grace shine through these people, may the sick see You and sense Your blessing, peace and touch from these carers, when the suffering gets unbearable. A special prayer that these professions are never abused. Amen.
Lord Jesus, today we bring to You the ones among us who use our writing skills to earn a living. We pray for fictional and non-fictional writers, bloggers, journalists, authors, researchers, editors and anyone who works with words. Lord, may we never use the pen to destroy, but to build up, Your Kingdom, Your creations. Bless our thinking and our hands. Bless also the ones who are being influenced by our writing. May no evil or filth seep through. Wash and cleanse every word we read or write, in Your Precious Blood. Amen.
