Today, we pray for Your protection

Lord Jesus, we plead for Your protection – from the wicked, evil, strife, bad habits and any vile attacks of Satan. Lord, we want to live glorifying Your name. Sometimes, we build up shackles which destroy instead of keeping us safe. Protect us in a very special way, Lord Jesus. Send Your angels to stand guard over us and our own. More than anything, keep us away from anything that blocks us away from loving You and loving our brethren like you want them loved. Amen.

Today, we pray for our loved ones who have died

Lord Jesus, today we say a prayer for the souls and memories of our beloveds who are dead. Assure us that their souls are in Your light. Let every unfulfilled dream and ache of theirs be dealt with here on earth. Lord, hug and comfort all those who are grieving right now; the ones left behind. May they feel You, Your love. Let Your angels on earth fill the roles the dead cannot fill anymore. We pray that all will be well, until we meet again in Your presence. Amen.

Today, we pray for the rude, mean and the cruel

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 too become the kind of people who are gentle and loving in our speech. Let the anger, unforgiving attitude and hatred melt away when we are touched by You daily. Heal our tongues, Lord Jesus. Amen.

Today, we pray for victims of rape, incest and sexual abuse

Lord Jesus, today we bring to You those who were ripped apart in body, mind and spirit by rape, incest or sexual abuse of any kind. Dear God of endless love, ever-present, ever-just, bring healing to these sisters and brothers who faced such breach of trust, shattering pain and needless shame. Soothe their hearts and show them the way to healing, justice and wholeness. May they forgive and experience Your liberating peace from the Holy Spirit. Break the ungodly ties leftover from these acts and remove all traces of shock and trauma, with the Blood of Our Precious Saviour. In...

Today, we pray for those who have lost their jobs

Lord Jesus, today we pray for those who are longing for a job. We pray that these brothers and sisters will have the grace to pray and seek Your will when they apply for new jobs. May they never lose hope when a rejection comes. May they have the will and the grace from You to try and try again without giving up. Provide them and their families with finances for their daily needs. Tell them every day what should be done with their time, their lives. Amen.
