Today, we pray for singles

Lord Jesus, we surrender to You singles who are longing to have a life partner. You alone know the desires of our hearts, our endless prayers and deepest aches. We pray that miracles of the kind that led Ruth to Boaz and Tobias to Sara, will take place in our lives too, so that we and our dear ones may see that and glorify Your name. May the way each of us Christian singles get a spouse from You alone, become a testimony to many. If we missed our own soul mate or our calling, rework our lives so we...

Today, we pray for our leaders

Lord Jesus, on this day we bring to You the leaders of our churches, countries, organisations and homes. We pray that they will be fine men and women who always listen to their conscience and have the guts to obey it, whatever may be the price. May Your Holy Spirit be with them every step of the way, building groups and people, not breaking them. Let them always be open to the cries of the people. Bring Your qualities of mercy, justice and honesty into their daily lifestyles. Strengthen those among us who are called to be leaders. Amen.

Today, we pray for our protection

Lord Jesus, today we pray for protection – from evil, strife, bad habits and any vile attacks of Satan. Protect our spirituality, families, friends, relationships, health, churches, ministries and jobs. Lord, we want to live glorifying Your name. Sometimes, we build up shackles which destroy instead of keeping us safe. Protect us from today in a very special way, Lord Jesus. Send St. Michael and our guardian angels to stand guard over us and our own. More than anything, keep us away from anything that cocoons us away from loving You and loving our brethren, freely. Amen

Today, we pray for the rich and the popular

Lord Jesus, today we pray for those in entertainment, sport, finance, media, art and other socially popular spheres. Lord, these are the people who pile up achievements – those faces we recognise and whose joy lie in their awards, accolades, luxury and wealth. Thank You for these people who make our lives more entertaining and relaxing. Now we say a prayer over them to claim their souls for You and You alone. We pray that these souls do not disconnect from You ever. Send them timely help, to bring them back to Jesus. Amen.

Today, we pray for the silent helpers of Your Ministry

Lord Jesus, today we bring to You, Your silent supporters on this earth. Lord, bless and honour those who clean the pews, decorate the halls for worship, do secretarial work, wash the toilets and do odd jobs behind the scenes – the sound technicians, the volunteer staff, the drivers, families of ministers, the launderers, the babysitters and all those who faithfully and quietly support ministries with their time and money, for Your glory. A prayer for their families too. May their rewards come from You. And frequently remind each of us that each role comes from You, so respect all...
