Prayer for the poor

 


Merciful Provider,

I pray today for those who do not have enough to meet their daily needs. People who are not sure of their next meal, where they are going to sleep or if they can keep their families safe.

Provide for them, Lord. Be with them wherever they are and fill in the gaps that their lack of resources has left for them. Find work for their families that they can provide for themselves. Meet their cries for help with compassion and inspire all nations that they can one day create the systems that can ensure that no one experiences this kind of poverty again.

I pray for an end to wastefulness. May the fruits of this Earth be shared so that we can all live comfortably.

May the rich and poor work together so that all communities on the Earth may flourish.

Amen.

Prayer for Grandparents

Image
God of everything, I give you praise for the gift of my grandparents. Thank you for allowing them to see their children's children and allowing them to impart their knowledge onto their Grandchildren. Have compassion on them Lord and forgive them for any way that they may have gone against what you asked of them. Bless my grandparents for the love and support they provided for me and my parents during their lives and forgive them for all the times the fell short of the parents or grandparents you called them to be. Thank you for all the special moments that I have enjoyed with them. Watch over them, guard them and care for them in this phase of life. Multiply the pleasure they receive from their grandchildren. Grant them peace and joy on this earth and when their time on Earth is done, grant them eternal happiness in your kingdom. Amen

Prayer for the strength to put God first

Image
  Heavenly Father, I trust you to be the manager of my life. I wish to be the type of person that stands firm in their faith and trust you in every situation. Give me the strength to face difficulties with you as my focus. Teach me to trust your directions. I know you want what's best for me, but I can't stop relying on my own mind and trusting only what I can see. God, help me to rely on your power. When I am afraid, I will trust you to be my courage. When I am angry, I will trust you to be my peace. When I am grieving, I will trust you to be my comfort When I am lonely, I will trust you to keep me company When I am rejected, I will remember that your approval is all that I need. Lord, you are the source of all Good things. Help me to keep my eyes focus on you and help me to develop the trust that will draw me closer to you.   Amen

July Prayer

Image
Almighty Father,               Thank you for the wonderful blessings that you have given to me in June. As I enter this month of July, I pray for missionaries and all people who live their lives doing good for others: volunteers and paid staff of various charitable organizations, health care professionals, people who are called to religious ministry: priests, pastors, nuns, ministers, deacons, and all those who live lives of service. Be with them as they carry out the tasks you have assigned to them. Give them patience that they may graciously stand firm when it seems like their work is in vain, inspire them that they may know what to say when the time comes.   Cover them with your divine providence that their families will not want. Bless them that through their sacrifice they may find eternal peace with you Lord send your spirit Amen
