Today, we pray for homemakers

Lord Jesus, today we bring to You, all Your children who are homemakers. Lord, they often do the unpaid, thankless service no one wants to do, and do it lifelong. We thank You for these wonderful men and women who choose their families and those needs before their own success and a probable career. We bless their work worn hands, Jesus. A special prayer for the mums and dads and relatives and administrators who have made our own homes and institutions true homes of selfless love. Amen.

Today, we pray for those labelled bad

Lord Jesus, You are all about love, mercy and justice; and acceptance. When the world brands a person as a black sheep, please hold his or her hand. The moment when one of us is labelled something evil, may Your angels rush to our aid – to lift us up and to give us grace and courage. May we able to bear the insults better, knowing that the world did the same to You years ago. May we not judge either, lest we be judged ourselves. Heal us all, Lord please. And help us forgive, like You did. Amen.

Today, we pray for the grace to know You better

Lord Jesus, today we bring to You our lack of trust in You. The fear, the doubt and the torment that we inflict upon ourselves, not knowing about even one iota of Your love for us. Lord, may we come to know Your love, even though it can never be completely known. May we never raise our thoughts, words or actions against You. Bless us to become truly Your children, who really know Your Fatherly Heart. Amen.

Today, we pray for those who are hopeless

Lord Jesus, today we pray for those who have lost all hope in life. Our brothers and sisters, who have been shattered by death, rifts, illnesses, crisis situations, betrayals and shocks. Lord, breathe Your life into them again. May angels or unexpected blessings bring hope back and faith alive in their dead hearts this moment. We pray for a miracle now, Lord. Please hear our prayer. A special prayer for those suffering in mute agony, alone. Send Your help right now, Lord Jesus. Amen.

Today, we pray for those facing death

Lord Jesus, we surrender to You each man, woman and child, who is facing death today. We pray that Your Spirit strengthens and calms them, when they enter the valley of death. May each one of them receive the grace to know Your presence, the comfort of Your angels and have a peaceful death. Give Your grace to those who are holding them and grieving, when they cross the barrier. May none of our dear ones die violent or untimely deaths and may we never have to face death in fear or in loneliness, without someone holding our hands. Amen.
