To Listen With Heart
Topic: Guidance To Listen With Heart Father, I'm praying for (name one or more) and others in my circle of family and friends who need You to lead them through the decisions they're making... Help them to live in dependence on You, as dependent sheep in the flock of their shepherd, willing to follow You and not be led astray. Help them to keep their eyes on Jesus, to listen for Him, to hear and recognize His voice. (Psalm 77:20; Isaiah 53:6; Hebrews 12:2a; John 10:3–4) May they listen with their hearts and hear You say, "This is the way, walk in it." Guide them in Your truth; teach, counsel, and watch over them. When it seems like they're walking in the darkness and have no light, help them trust in You and Your name, confident that You'll lead them along paths they haven't seen before. (Isaiah 30:21; Psalm 25:5a; 32:8; Isaiah 50:10b; 42:16) Lead and guide them for the sake of Your name. May they know their lives are in Your hands. Direct their steps and clear the way for them. (Psalm 31:3, 14–15a; Proverbs 20:24a; Psalm 18:36) May the Spirit of truth lead them and teach them all things. Guide them in the way of wisdom and lead them according to Your will. ( John 14:16-17; Romans 8:14; John 16:13; 1 John 2:27; Proverbs 4:11) Keep them from wrong choices. In Jesus' name, amen. - Jim & Kaye Johns

In Remembrance of Martin Luther King, Jr.
Topic: Martin Luther King In Remembrance of Martin Luther King, Jr. O Guardian of Israel, Our shelter and shade, Stir up in us that flame of justice That Jesus incited on this earth, That rages in our hearts by the Holy Spirit. O arouse in us That very flame of righteousness That enticed Martin To be a living sacrifice of praise, To seek freedom for all God's children. O to you, God, ever faithful and true, Be glory for ever and ever. Amen. - Attributed to J. Glenn Murray, SJ

Prayer When I Can't Pray
Topic: Anxiety Prayer When I Can't Pray I try to pray; words don’t come. I toss and turn and feel nothing. My mind is dry, my heart is dull, my soul longs for life. Hear my silent cry, my God, hear me. Let me not be a shriveled reed or an empty shell. Breathe on me and make me whole. Give me passion that I may love. Then shall my tongue praise your holy name with words I do not yet know. So be it. - Vienna Cobb Anderson

For Those Coping With Divorce
Topic: Divorce For Those Coping With Divorce Lord, be with this family as they transition into two separate households. Let your eternal light radiate throughout both homes, that this child may know your lovingkindness, as manifested by her parents, who love her, Lord. Let both this husband and wife grow strong in your love and live their lives according to Your will and not their own... I also pray for all children of divorce, that they have both their parents in their lives, and never doubt for one second that they are loved and cherished, and precious in Your sight. Thy will be done Lord, Amen.

Prayer for the Chronically Ill
Topic: Health/Healing Prayer for the Chronically Ill O Lord, through the passion of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I beseech Thee to watch over and guide all those who suffer from chronic illness. Grant to us the courage to face our situations so that others may see Your perpetual light shining through us, as a beacon of strength that overcomes setbacks, and reaffirms Your Precious Love for ALL the sheep among Your flock. We are all Your children in spite of our physical situation, and Your Loving Son shepherds those of us who believe. Grant us the spiritual and mental strength to endure so that we may live in Your Divine Shadow. In the name of Jesus Christ, King of Kings, please hear and bless this prayer O Heavenly Father. Amen

Make Me Brave for Life
Topic: Courage Make Me Brave for Life God, make me brave for life: oh, braver than this. Let me straighten after pain, as a tree straightens after the rain, Shining and lovely again. God, make me brave for life; much braver than this. As the blown grass lifts, let me rise From sorrow with quiet eyes, Knowing Thy way is wise. God, make me brave, life brings Such blinding things. Help me to keep my sight; Help me to see aright That out of dark comes light. - Author Unknown

In Remembrance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Topic: Martin Luther King In Remembrance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. God of our forebears and our God, who has summoned women and men throughout the ages to be thy witnesses and sometimes martyrs for thee, we bow before thee this day in remembrance and thanksgiving for the life and legacy of thy servant, witness and martyr, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. We thank thee for his time among us, for his words and for his deeds, and for the quality of his living witness which eases the pain of recalling the brevity of his years. We rejoice in his example of obedient faith and the scenes and stations of his life which inform and enrich our own faith journeys. And we beseech thee this day for the strength, steadfastness and courage not only to remember but also to obey.
