Today, we pray for those who have been betrayed

Lord Jesus, we bring to You those of us who have faced the deepest stab of all – betrayal by a loved one. Lord, You faced rejection and wounds from Your own. We bring to You our own pain, the ceaseless ache caused by the cut from a friend or relative. God, when people who promised to be around don’t stick by, when spouses cheat and parents, siblings or children reject, be our comfort. Forgive them cos they do not know what they are doing. Have mercy on us all. Amen.

Today, we pray for our relatives

Lord Jesus, we surrender to You today, the members of our extended family. We pray that illnesses and strife within our homes are healed and relationships are washed in Your Precious Blood and mended. May we learn to love them as our own, just as You decided they should be our family. Bless our dear ones to come closer to You and to each other. Heal the negative. May we always bless and never curse each other. Let Your love flow into and through our family tree daily. Amen.

Today, we pray for the strengthening of our childrens’ faith

Lord Jesus, we pray today for little children who are struggling to understand You and Your working in our tough, unfair world. We pray that our children are touched by Your Holy Spirit, so that they understand how to obey and honour You, even when life gives them tough knocks. Be with them every moment and send Your angels to aid them when they are in emotional, physical or spiritual danger. May they become real children of Your light. We give You complete control of our childrens’ lives right now, Lord Jesus. Claim them as Your own, forever and ever....

Today, we pray for those facing death

Lord Jesus, we surrender to You each man, woman and child, who is facing death today. We pray that Your Spirit strengthens and calms them, when they enter the valley of death. May each one of them receive the grace to know Your presence, the comfort of Your angels and have a peaceful death. Give Your grace to those who are holding them and grieving, when they cross the barrier. May none of our dear ones die violent or untimely deaths and may we never have to face death in fear or in loneliness, without someone holding our hands. Amen.
