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 deceit. Let true repentance happen and let us not make a mockery of our faith or God’s infinite mercy and love....

Today, we pray for those who cut us through their words

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 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. Amen.

Today, we pray for Your mercy

Lord Jesus, today on this Divine Mercy Sunday, we humbly prostrate ourselves before You, seeking Your mercy. We pray for forgiveness of our sins, inner and physical healing and a powerful anointing of Your Holy Spirit. We pray for our dear ones – dead and alive – to be immersed in Your ocean of mercy. Bless us and bring us closer to You than ever. Amen.

Today, we pray for orphans

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 our homes will be opened to young ones who are seeking adoptive parents. May all of us truly become one large family – with members accountable to and for one another. Amen.

Today, we pray for those living in sexual sin

Lord Jesus, You taught us about love. But to some, love is manifested as lust. We pray for our brothers and sisters living in the bondage of sexual immorality, especially the ones who live it in secret. May they have the courage and integrity to recognise their folly and fight it, with Your grace. Pour forth Your Spirit on each one of us so that we may never fall into evil. Amen.
