A Prayer of Intercession
A Prayer of Intercession
Almighty God, blessed is your Holy Name. As we reflect upon your goodness we recognize how
unworthy we are. We are sinful and wretched, yet you love us so much that you have given us
your only Begotten Son. We dabble in sinfulness but your love for us remain unchanged. What a
wonderful father you are. We see the signs of end, yet we continue to be lukewarm in praising
you. Have mercy upon us and bring us to full submission to your Spirit.
Father, life has brought us many challenges, but allow each challenge to bring us closer to you.
Let our failings remind us how imperfect we are and in need of your divine guidance. Let each
experience strengthen us and prepare us for greater ones to come.
I place before you this moment, those among us and afar who are sick in the flesh and minds.
Grant deliverance according to your divine plan.
I pray for the leaders of this country, grant them wisdom so that they will discharge their duties
not driven by ego or personal goals but in the best interest of our people.
I pray for those members of the security forces who on duty this moment, that as they perform
their duties they will do so without fear but with respect for human lives. Help them to
understand that without you they patrol the streets in vain.
For those in the healthcare and other essential services, performing an often times frustrating and
thankless job, we pray that you will grant them patience and understanding. Guide them in the
right direction when difficulty presents itself and when mans ability fails.
Mighty God, cover our children under your wings. Hide them from the eyes of those who prey
upon their innocence. Restore confidence and dignity in those who have become victims of the
vicious actions of those who have allowed themselves to be used by the devil. Let there be a
standard that bring those who hurt our children to repentance so that they too may experience
your glory.
Intervene in all our affairs. Let your Spirit rain abundantly among us. Forgive our many sins
against you. Grant these mercies we beg of you, in no other name, but in name of Jesus Christ
our Saviour and King. Amen
Intercessory Prayer 2
Oh Great Jehovah, what a wonderful God you are. I pause once more to petition your throne of
grace. It is not by works or any good deed we have done that caused you to give us Jesus; it is
your compassion and unconditional love for helpless and sinful humanity. We are undeserving of
your unconditional love yet some of us treat it with such little regards, casting ourselves about in
selfishness and greed. Intervene in all our affairs Almighty, for immorality has overtaken our
land. Let your Spirit reign abundantly in our land and ignite within us the desire to glorify you.
Let your standards point the vicious and wayward of the world to repentance, so that they may
experience the goodness you have in store for your people. Have mercy upon us and forgive us
of our many sins. We humbly ask in the name of Jesus. Amen
Intercessory Prayer 2
Mighty God who has created all things, we beseech you through Christ our saviour and King, to
look down on this our troubled world so full of confusion and trials. Have mercy upon your
people who continue to submit to your Will. Grant comfort through your Holy Spirit to our
failing hearts and bring us closer to you with each experience of trial. Let not the wayward and
the ungodly rejoice at our failing, for they look with mockery and contempt at our imperfections.
We know you are able to see us through because you know how to deliver the righteous on that
great and dreadful day. Bless our hearts and empower us with your Spirit. Cleanse our
uncleanness and restore us unto you. We ask through Jesus. Amen.
Almighty God, blessed is your Holy Name. Your goodness is from everlasting to everlasting and
your judgement is fair. We call upon you through our Saviour to once again have mercy upon
sinful humanity, so full of sin like those of old whom you consumed with your mighty hands.
Grant guidance to your people through your spirit for this world has gone astray, loving pleasure
and all sorts of profane things that dishonour you. Let not the matters of this world nor the
profusion of sinfulness weaken our faith but remind us that the end is nigh. Wash us afresh and
strengthen us with a double portion of your Spirit, we ask through Jesus. Amen
