Today, we pray for writers

Lord Jesus, today we bring to You the ones among us who use our writing skills to earn a living. We pray for fictional and non-fictional writers, bloggers, journalists, authors, researchers, editors and anyone who works with words. Lord, may we never use the pen to destroy, but to build up, Your Kingdom, Your creations. Bless our thinking and our hands. Bless also the ones who are being influenced by our writing. May no evil or filth seep through. Wash and cleanse every word we read or write, in Your Precious Blood. Amen.

Today, we pray for those who have left the church

Lord Jesus, You created the beautiful Catholic and 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 our real home church, Lord Jesus. Amen.

Today, we pray for widows and widowers

Lord Jesus, on this day we specially lift unto You all the widowed across the world. Lord, the loss of ones beloved is one of the most painful experiences of life. We ask You to look kindly on all widows and widowers. As they struggle through loneliness, keep them in Your tight embrace. Keep them always protected and never let their emotions or sexuality be abused. For those who are still not able to overcome the shock of having lost their beloved, we pray that Your hands of healing might be upon their tender hearts right this moment onwards. Amen.

Today, we pray for our children

Lord Jesus, You told us to become like little children. We are today raising children who are forced to grow up much before their time. We bring to You our little ones who are battling stress, anxiety and even depression at such a young age. We pray that You will tell us how to raise them as good Christians – fine men and women – who would die for Your calling. Amen.

Today, we pray for more prayer warriors

Lord Jesus, we pray today that You raise up more prayer warriors to worship You and make known to You the deepest cries and prayer requests of Your children. We need more men and women to come forward in faith, to call upon Your mighty name. We need miracles, strength and healing. Bless the ones who are already in the intercessory ministry and make each one in our family and friends’ circle, a warrior for Christ. Amen.
