When tears flow, give their families Your love and grace. May no child go to bed feeling the despair of suffering tonight. Amen.

When we face harsh judgement, loneliness, illness and rejection, let us know that its not from You, but from the evil one. Help us to...

Today, we pray for those longing to attend a retreat

Lord Jesus, today we bring to You each man, woman and child seeking You. We pray that those who desperately wish to attend a retreat can do so, soon. Remove the hindrances, anxieties, people and negative circumstances that are blocking their plans. We surrender each person and their desire to know You fully, at the foot of the cross. May their cries reach Your ears today and may they get the deliverance only You can give. Amen.
