Today, we pray for those disappointed with God

Lord Jesus, today we bring to You our disappointments with God, the Church and Christians. The many tears, the countless unanswered prayers, the endless waiting for a miracle from heaven – we surrender them all to You, Lord; not with anger, but with true submission and humility. We identify ourselves with Your apostles and Mother Mary, who waited and mourned before that glorious resurrection Sunday. Lord Jesus, turn our worst disappointments into Your biggest miracles. Amen.

Today, we pray for people who are deeply wounded

Lord Jesus, today we bring to You the wounded, from all over the world, especially the ones who trudge into our retreat centre, for a revival of their lives. We pray for healing that is complete – spiritual, physical and emotional. We pray that Your love seeps through their spirits, souls and bodies, removing every hurt inflicted by people. May they walk into Your arms and walk boldly in Your light hereafter, holding Your hand forever. Amen.

Today, we pray for those seriously ill

Lord Jesus, we pray for those among us and our families and dear ones, who are now really ill. Only You, the Divine Healer, can give people the complete healing for our spirits, souls and bodies. We pray that Your Spirit comforts those who are in pain. May no one go away from Your presence, unhappy or suffering. Heal us, sweet Jesus. May our lives become great witnesses of Your healing touch. Amen.

Today, we pray for greater love and respect towards Your name

Lord Jesus, You gave Yourself to us, only out of love. We pray that the human race is truly grateful for You, the Son of the Living God and give Your name the honour it deserves. Have mercy and convict the ones who commit sins against Your Holy Name. Forgive blasphemies against Your name. May each one of us utter ‘Jesus’ with the awe that You deserve and not in vain. Teach us to truly adore and rejoice in the power of our only Saviour’s name – the name that angels bow down to. Amen.

Today, we pray for those who have left the church

Lord Jesus, today we surrender to You those among us who have left the church, especially the ones who left because of our judgmental attitude, rifts, wounds and struggles within the church. Lord, we Christians ask your forgiveness that we have been at times like the Pharisees of Your times, turning people away with our self-righteousness. We pray that with the power and grace of God, all hurts are washed away by Your precious blood. May their children, not experience the hatred and slander. Bind us all together with the eternal cords of Your love. Amen.
