The hypocrisy, disloyalty, anger, greed, unforgiving nature, arrogance, our harsh behaviour, bitter words, greed, neglect of family and friends, unwillingness to help our brethren, alcoholism, lying, cheating, gossip, abortion, wrong relationships, adultery and sexual sins, addictive sins and everything else that You alone are fully aware of.

Lord Jesus, today we bring to You all Your children who are in the throes of grief. We pray for homes, individuals, communities struck by death, illness, crisis, catastrophes and failures.
