Today’s Verse:
"And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective."
James 5:15-16

Prayer for Today :

Heavenly Father,

You know us when we were still in our mother's womb. Surely, You also know about our happiness, our sadness, our distress and our every other single detail.

Father, like Jonah in the fish (*Note), now we cry to you in our distress and we are looking for Your prompt reply. Everyday we face so many different kinds of problems: relationship, sickness, pain, hurt, discomfort, grief etc. Father, we felt like we have been banished from your sight, we felt that the engulfing waters were threatening us, the deep sea were surrounding us and the seaweed was wrapped around our heads. Father, we could see no way out, help us, save us!

Father, Thankyou for giving us Jesus, to come to the world, to heal the sick and to forgive the sinned. Father, may all who are suffering, who are in pain, who are ill or sick, who have sinned, be able to uplift these problems and troubles onto You. Father, we need Your miracles, we need Your love, we need Your healing, we need Your relieve to our pain and suffering. Lord, have mercy on us. Lord, bless us abundantly today!

Lord, restore our health, renew our relationships, resolve our problems... so that we may glorify and praise You more, in honour to Your deeds and that many may know Your mercyfulness through us.

In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
