Today, we pray for those in debt

Lord Jesus, today we pray for the grace to be free from debt. Lord, help us honour You first with our money. Whatever we earn, let the first fruits be Yours. May our brothers and sisters who are facing loans, mortgages, crisis situations or loss of jobs – be helped in time, by Your wisdom. Give us and our families, financial blessings. Amen.

Today, we pray for the lonely

Lord Jesus, loneliness if the first thing that Your eyes seemed as not right. We pray for those among us who are living alone in this world – the sick and the orphaned, singles, the married singles, the aged and the ostracised. We pray that Your presence will surround us when we are at our loneliest point. We pray that You provide us with the right people around us, to be Your loving touch and voice. Heal our pain of rejection, especially from dearest ones. Amen.

Today, we pray for the bedridden

Lord Jesus, today we bring to the foot of Your cross all our brothers and sisters who are tied to their beds. We pray that Your Holy Spirit brings strength back to their limbs and that they will rise and walk. We believe that by Your stripes they are healed. Lord, help us in our unbelief any time we waver. We also pray for the ones caring for these friends, that they may get Your courage to serve in love. Be with them in their low points and highs. Amen.

Today, we pray for those who feel lost

Lord Jesus, on this Holy Saturday, we pray for those who feel lost and empty. On that Holy Saturday after Your death, the ones who loved You would have felt lost, alone and empty. They would have struggled to understand the emptiness. We pray for all those who, on this day, feel lost and empty in life and are unable to understand their broken situations. Be with them this day and comfort them as You lead them on to the resurrection experience. Amen.

Today, we pray for our enemies

Lord Jesus, today we remember Your love that took You to the cross and a painful death even for Your enemies. You taught us a valuable lesson about loving those who hate us. We now pray for each person whom we have harmed and who has harmed us in any way. Sweet Jesus, let Your healing and love flow. Let peace be established. May we, Your children, stop hurting each other through our thoughts, words and deeds. Bless each one of our enemies mightily today. Amen.
