Lord Jesus, today we bring to Your presence our pregnant wives, sisters, mothers and friends. We pray that theirs wombs, their spouses and babies are blessed. May the men who are to give them much care and love, do so with Your touch. May Your angels, Saint Anne and Mother Mary give them relief from their discomforts. Bless them with safe and happy confinement and smooth labour. Amen.
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 and have no qualms about it. 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 this evil. Protect our own and our children from being preys to this too. Amen.

Lord Jesus, we surrender to You today our desire to become saints. We were created to worship and honour You with our lives. We consecrate ourselves to You in a special way today, O Christ the King and pray that we will live fulfilling lives that bring honour to Your name. May our homes, churches and workplaces be places which shape us into saintly people. Let us become role models for other Christians, in our love, purity, integrity, humility, joyfulness, holiness and simplicity. Amen.
Lord Jesus, we bring to You those of us who have faced the deepest stab of all – betrayal by a loved one. Lord, You faced rejection and wounds from Your own. We bring to You our own pain, the ceaseless ache caused by the cut from a friend or relative. God, when people who promised to be around don’t stick by, when spouses cheat and parents, siblings or children reject, be our comfort. Forgive them cos they do not know what they are doing. Have mercy on us all. Amen.
