Lord Jesus, today we thank You for Your immense love that took You to the cross and made You shed every last drop of Your blood for us. We pray that we honour Your love by keeping this week consecrated to You and holy. May we be broken completely and thus learn to love You and love our brethren – Your own – perfectly, today and for the rest of our lives. Amen.
Lord Jesus, today we pray for those we bump into in our daily lives – people who we don’t know, but who are timely angels in disguise. The unknown faces – priests and prayer partners who have lifted us up, fellow travellers, shopkeepers, friends of friends and members of our families and communities we may have never met, but have helped improve our lives. Bless each one of them and their own mightily today, Lord Jesus. Amen.
Lord Jesus, today we pray for those who live on this earth with no one to call their own. May Your love surround them and make them feel wanted, instead of rejected. Lord, bless the old and the young who long for a family. We pray that homes will be opened to young ones who are seeking adoptive parents. May all of us human beings truly become one family – with members accountable to and for one another. Amen.
Lord Jesus, today we bring to You our wounds. O God who healed the sick, the grieving, the wounded, have mercy on us all. May Your love that surpasses all human understanding fill us, cleanse us and strengthen us. Remove from each one of us any deep inner wounds which we got right from the time we were conceived, up to today. We pray that we can forgive and forget. Help heal the ones we have wounded too. Amen.
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 on behalf of a hurting, broken and wounded world. 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.
