Lord Jesus, we pray that You bless all the fathers and father figures in this world. Guide them to become good role models and the epitomes of love, hard work, integrity, dedication and honesty to their families. Let them truly know that the greatest they can do for their own children is to love their mothers. Help them to become a father like You are. Give them Your grace and patience to handle life and people, the vulnerable, Your loving way. Amen.
Lord Jesus, today we bring to You those who we bump into during our daily walk. The men, women and children we do not know, but who are all opportunities You provide for us to share Your love. May each person we meet see Jesus Christ in us. May Your Holy Spirit radiate and touch the lives of everyone we meet. Touch and heal them all, Lord Jesus; and may the light in them – man, woman and child – heal our own weary souls too. Let us all become Angels of Your Light in a broken world. Amen.
Lord Jesus, today we surrender to You those among us who have a lukewarm relationship with You and Your people. Lord, You said that those who are neither hot nor cold would be spat out. We pray that we really begin to live out our Christian faith with love, passion, freedom and grace. May we also never become blind followers of the blind, but exercise Your wisdom and caution, when facing challenges in our faith walk. Bring Your Spirit alive in us – every day – give us a fresh anointing of Your Holy Spirit. Amen.
Lord Jesus, today we surrender to You our teachers. Thank You Lord, for those who taught us everything – from discipline to sharing, from knowledge to integrity. We pray that each one of them are touched by You and cared for in a special way. May good Christian men and women take up this commitment to become teachers. Bless their students to know You and about You, first and last. Amen.
Lord Jesus, there is no one who uses the power of words to heal as much as You do. We pray for Christians who inflict deep wounds with their tongue, without a care for others’ feelings. We pray that the ones who are at the receiving end – can heal, forgive and forget too, by Your grace. May we too become the kind of people who are gentle and loving in our speech. Let the anger, unforgiveness and hatred melt away when we are touched by You daily. Heal our tongues which kill our loved ones, Lord Jesus. Amen.
