Today, we pray for an anointing

Lord Jesus, today we pray that Your power falls on us. May a heavy anointing of the Holy Spirit fall on each one of us – the young and the old, men and women and people from all walks of life. May the world come to see Your glory and the manifestation of it on us. May Your people come together in one Spirit to praise You as one church, one flock. May Your Spirit cleanse, heal and renew us all. Use us completely for You, Lord, after that. Amen.

Today, we pray for the gift of gratitude

Lord Jesus, You have given us so much, so today, we pray for the gift of gratitude. Thank You, Father, for having created us and given us families. Thank You for being with us in all our joys and sorrows, for Your comfort in our sadness, Your companionship in our loneliness. Thank You for yesterday, today, tomorrow and for the whole of our lives. Thank You for great spouses, Godly friends, sweet children, for health and for grace, for unknown blessings on their way. For food, water and clean air, blessings we take for granted. May we live every day...

Today, we pray for the mentally ill

Lord Jesus, today we bring to You our brothers and sisters who are mentally unstable. Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ name we pray that they will be delivered and saved from destruction. Let schizophrenia, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, fear, psychosis, neurosis, depression and all kinds of mental illness be routed from our families and communities. Let these people never harm themselves or others. Let them be set free from all emotional bondages, forever. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Today, we pray for all the busybodies and gossips

Lord Jesus, we surrender to you all the people who use their tongues to speak lies. Lord, when gossip is being formulated and used, be the unbreakable shield we rely on. We especially pray for those who tell tales and cause deep rifts; for everyone who meddles into our lives or has gossiped about us. A prayer for the society that we live in. Bless us all, Lord Jesus. Amen

May our homes and organisations be places where individuals can celebrate without drinking. Heal the addicts. Amen.
