Lord Jesus, we bring to Your cross those who are judged the harshest by each one of us, the Pharisees of today. The teen with the tattoo, the intruding relative, the sulky colleague, the temperamental boss, the whining elder, the insensitive partner, the friend who wounded, the alcoholic neighbour, the gossipy stranger and many more faces we meet daily…may we see them as You see them, holy and perfect creations in an imperfect world. Let us not judge, lest we be judged by You. Forgive and heal us, each time before we even think of lifting our fingers to point...

Lord Jesus, today we surrender to You those among us who have a lukewarm relationship with You and people. Lord, You said that those who are neither hot nor cold would be spat out. We pray that we really begin to live out our Christian faith with love, passion, freedom and grace. May we also never become blind followers of the blind, but exercise Your wisdom and caution, when facing challenges in our faith walk. Bring Your Spirit alive in us – every day – give us a fresh anointing of Your Holy Spirit. Amen.

Lord Jesus, today we bring to You people who have ever requested our prayer support. The friend, the member of the family, the acquaintance, the colleague, the neighbour, the religious and the stranger – we bring them all to the foot of Your cross today, seeking that Your mighty Holy Spirit will touch them, heal their hearts and refresh their spirits. Answer their needs today, whatever they may be, Oh Jesus. May they clearly know today that no prayer returns unanswered. Bless them and their own. Thank You for giving us an opportunity to intercede for them. Amen.

Let the anger, unforgiving thoughts and hatred melt away when we are touched by You daily. Heal our tongues. Amen.

Lord Jesus, we surrender to You each man, woman and child, who is facing death right now. We pray that Your Spirit strengthens and calms them, when they enter the valley of death. May each one of them receive the grace to know Your presence, the comfort of Your angels, the prayers of Your saints and have a peaceful death. Give Your grace to those who are holding them and grieving, when they cross the barrier. May none of our dear ones die violent or untimely deaths and may we never have to face death in fear or in loneliness,...
