Today, we pray that we can lead saintly lives

Lord Jesus, we surrender to You today our desire to become saints. We were created to worship and honour You with our lives. We consecrate ourselves to You in a special way today, O Christ the King and pray that we will live fulfilling lives that bring honour to Your name. May our homes, churches and workplaces be places which shape us into saintly people. Let us become role models for other Christians, in our love, purity, integrity, humility, joyfulness, holiness and simplicity. Amen.

Today, we pray for our relatives

Lord Jesus, we surrender to You today members of our extended family. We pray that strife within our homes is 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 own. May every negative thought be surrendered at the foot of Your cross today. Bless our dear ones to come closer to You and to each other. May we always bless and never curse them. Amen.

Today, we pray for Your touch

Lord Jesus, God of love, we pray that great peace comes into our world with Your one touch. Our world is torn by broken individuals, distant factions and fighting countries. We pray that Your hands heal each one of them. May the love that Your Holy Spirit gives cleanse individuals, faiths, groups. God bless us all. Amen.

Today, we pray for the elderly

Lord Jesus, today we bring to You the oldest members of our families and society. We pray that Your presence comforts them in their loneliness. Keep them focused on You, rather than on their aches and anxieties. We pray specially for those who are living alone. Watch over our parents and grandparents, Oh Jesus. May they have angels for their aid whenever they are alone. Help us serve them well, all their lives. Amen.

Today we pray for those who have left the church

Lord Jesus, You created the beautiful apostolic church to help us worship You unceasingly and with passion, holding fast to our traditions. We ask Your forgiveness for the divisions we have caused to Your body. A special prayer for the ones who have caused the rifts – the dead and the alive. Some of us have already left the fold and many others are dangling. Bring them back Jesus – only You can do that. Help us all come back, in unity and with fervour to form our real home church, Lord Jesus. Amen.
