Interceding in prayer for you

Father,I pray that You would be very close to all my brothers and sisters in Christ in these troublesome times, which are causing so many hearts to fear and fail within, for fear of what is coming on the world.

Thank You that no matter how far apart we may be, we are all part of Your family and all have been redeemed by the blood of Christ and made eternally secure in Him. I ask that Your perfect peace would flood into each troubled heart and that they may be prompted to turn to Jesus as their ever-present help in time of trouble, so that they may not to be overwhelmed by the trials and tribulations that they are facing.

Turn the trials and difficulties of each one of my family and friends into a time when they discover a deeper intimacy with You so that each heart may be flooded with Your perfect peace, which is beyond our comprehension, but which is promised to all, who by prayer and supplication look to Jesus, and make their requests known to Him - May each one confidently cast all their cares upon Him, knowing that He cares for each one of his own.

Encourage and strengthen all Your blood-bought children and may they find a deep assurance in Your precious promises, no matter what fiery trial they may be facing today and embrace their trial knowing that the extent to which they are called to partake of Christ’s sufferings is a measure of the exceeding great joy that is set before them - in heavenly places - in Jesus name we pray, Amen James Cruse

Praying for our brothers and sisters in Christ

Thank You Father that Your grace is sufficient for all Your children, including those that are facing severe persecutions and dangers in so many parts of this country struggling to survive. But Lord we are all our brothers and sisters in Christ and I am praying right now for each one of them that the pain that individual believers are suffering becomes a corporate distress for the Body of Christ. And so Lord we lift up all those that are having to contend with so many dangers and difficulties in our city, country and other continents of this world.

Comfort and strengthen each precious person who is suffering for righteousness sake and I ask that You would draw very close to each and every one so that in Your strength they may persevere in these troublesome times - and in so doing bring glory to Yourself and serve as a faithful witness. To those that are lost in their sins, of Your grace and goodness. Support all those that are grieving for righteousness sake I pray, perhaps due to the loss of a loved one or severe deprivation, and comfort and succour each hurting hear and keep each one firm in the faith they have in Christ Jesus our Lord. Thank You Lord that there is not one of Your children who is lost to Your eyes of pity and we lift each and every one up to You in Jesus name, Amen. James Cruse
