SUPREME AND EXTREME LOVE

Today, we pray for the gift of gratitude

Lord Jesus, You have given us so much, we pray today as we begin a new year, for the gift of gratitude. Thank you, Father, for having created us and given us families.

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. Amen

Today, we pray for more prayer warriors

Lord Jesus, we pray today that You raise up more prayer warriors to worship You and make known to You – the deepest cries and prayer requests of Your children. We need more men and women all around the world, to come forward in faith, to call upon Your mighty name. We need miracles, strength and healing. Bless the ones who are already in the intercessory ministry and make each one in our family and friends’ circle, a warrior for Christ. Amen.

Today, we pray for our best friends

Lord Jesus, today we thank You for the angels we call our best friends. Bless, sanctify, heal and strengthen our friendships. We praise You and glorify You for their love and support – the friend in school, the one who shared secrets in college, the colleague who always lend an ear and the stranger who became the most integral part of our lives. May they never see distress, but always be Your witnesses of love, peace and joy. Bless my best friend, Lord. Amen.
