Today, we pray for those fed up with their lives

Lord Jesus, we bring to You those who have really reached the end of their tether. We pray for those of us who want to give up on our faith, church-going, family life, relationships, work, friendships, ministry and any other task entrusted to us.

We pray that with the power and grace of God, all hurts are washed away by Your precious blood. May Your children not experience hatred and slander inside the church walls. Bind us all together with the eternal cords of Your love. Make us...

Today, we pray for widows and widowers

Lord Jesus, on this day we specially lift unto You all the widowed across the world. Lord, the loss of ones beloved is one of the most painful experiences of life.

Keep them always protected and never let their emotions or sexuality be abused. For those who are still not able to overcome the shock of having lost their beloved, we pray that Your hands of healing might be upon their tender hearts right this moment onwards. Amen.
