Today, we pray for workers

Lord Jesus, today we bring to You those among us who work for a living. The ones who hold jobs in all walks of life – men and women, old and young, rich and poor. We pray that all of us give hundred percent to our jobs and treat them as an opportunity to bring people close to You. May we glorify You, sweet Jesus, through our jobs and the work we do – at home and outside. Bless our chosen careers with Your anointing. Amen.

Today, we pray for those disappointed with God

Lord Jesus, today we bring to You our disappointments with God, the Church and especially fellow Christians. The many tears, the countless unanswered prayers, the endless waiting for a miracle from heaven, the abuse and rejection we suffer from others – 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 Pentecost. Lord Jesus, turn our worst disappointments into Your biggest miracles. Amen.
