I lift up the prayers of everyone here. I lift up the sick and the dying, especially those with COVID and other diseases. I lift up the prayers of those who are alone, depressed, suicidal, homeless, orphaned or abandoned, unemployed, ostracized, who are hating and hated, unforgiving or unforgiven, suffering from grief, hunger and other illnesses. Shine a light in their darkness, Lord.

I pray for an end to conflicts around the world. I pray for healing for the Earth, and that we remember our responsibility to be stewards of God’s creation. I pray for animal welfare.

Lastly, I lift up my family of healthcare workers, at the forefront of the COVID battle. Keep them safe, Jesus, please.

I lift up my sister that she may be healed completely of her cancer and that it will no longer manifest in her body in any way.

I pray for help that I find a job soon or we will go hungry and homeless. My bank account is nearly empty. I’m battling depression and suicidal thoughts. I feel useless, and I feel I no longer deserve God’s love and forgiveness. Help me, Lord. I am truly at the end of my rope. Lift me out of this never-ending darkness and pain.
