Today, we pray for our parents

Lord Jesus, You gave some of us this privilege and honour – to parent new generations. And we have been blessed with two amazing people to be a part of Your plan for us. We thank You for this precious blessing, Jesus. Thank You Lord, for giving us parents with the wisdom needed to raise children who worship and love You more than anything else. May our own parenting be the kind that honours You, our creator. Bless our parents Lord, especially the ones living all alone. May Your love surround them and may angels watch over them. Amen

Today, we pray for those who have caused us harm

Lord Jesus, today we bring to You each and every person who has broken our hearts, injured us physically or emotionally or hurt our dear ones. Lord, we make a decision to forgive. Please take hold of the pieces of our shattered hearts and make them whole again. Pour forth Your Spirit and give us the healing we need so badly. Wipe our tears tonight, when we are totally alone in this pain. Amen.

Today, we pray for our children’s 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 light. Amen.

Today, we pray for those struggling to pray

Lord Jesus, today we entrust to Your Sacred Heart, each person around the world who is struggling to pray. Whether we are unable to pray because of a lack of time or a lack of spiritual intimacy with You, may Your touch heal us all. Fill us with peace from You. May we never give up when our emotions or circumstances tell us that You are not present. May Your angels surround us and nudge us back to You. Amen.

Today, we pray for sick children

Lord Jesus, today we surrender to You babies and children who are suffering and in pain. Heal their emotional and physical wounds, Lord. When they cry out, may Your angels rush to their aid and soothe their brows. Give them the assurance that You are carrying them in Your precious arms. When tears flow, give their families Your strength, love and grace. May no child go to bed feeling despair or suffering tonight. Amen.
