Today, we pray for ‘pretend Christians’

Lord Jesus, today we bring to the foot of Your cross all those are putting up a show of piety. Lord, when You walked the earth, You hated hypocrisy and called it the yeast of the Pharisees. We pray that You cleanse Your church and its people of any trace of power abuse, hypocrisy, deception and lies. Tear down the walls of evil. Make us know that the punishment for deceivers will be great from a God who abhors any kind of deceit. Let true repentance happen and let us not make a mockery of our faith. Amen.

Today, we pray for the lonely

Lord Jesus, loneliness if the first thing that Your eyes seemed as not right.

Give us the grace and the hearts to seek out the lonely and be their friend. Amen.

Remove the hindrances, anxieties, people and negative circumstances that are blocking their plans. We surrender each person and their desire to know You fully, at the foot of the cross. May their cries reach Your presence today and may they get the deliverance only You can give. Amen

Today, we pray for our home country

Lord Jesus, we surrender to You our motherland. Its people, faith and culture. Almighty God, bless our nation and make it true to the ideas of freedom, justice and brotherhood for all. Guard us from war, from natural calamities, from chaos. Be close to our statesmen; give them integrity, honesty, vision and courage, as they decide the future of our country. Make me more deeply aware of my heritage; realising not only my rights, but also my responsibilities as a citizen. Make this great land and all its people know Your will clearly, and stand up for it, for the...
