Today I offer a prayer of intercession. It’s important that we pray for those around us in our circle, city, and world.
Father God, our Compassionate Lord, You are full of lovingkindness. Please pour out Your comfort and healing on Your world today. We offer our supplications, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings on behalf of all people. Thank you for sending Your Spirit to help us in our weakness and intercede on our behalf, for we lack the words to pray as we should. You children, gathered in Your name and in Your presence, long to pray at all times in the Spirit, asking with alertness and perseverance for Your hand to deliver us. You have promised that when we do this and ask in faith You will hear and respond to our prayers. We ask these things in the name of Jesus, who promised if we approach You in His name you will grant our requests, and our joy will be full. We pray consistently for the health and wellbeing of this world, never losing heart that You will deliver us from the evil one and our own sin. You are able to save to the uttermost those of us who draw near to You through Jesus, since He intercedes on our behalf. Until Jesus’ return we will continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful and giving You thanks. We pray for our circles, cities, and world in the holy name of Jesus, forever and ever, amen.
