The Word of the Lord tells us in 1Timothy 2:1-4 to pray for all people because it is good and acceptable in the sight of God our saviour who will have all people to be saved, and come unto the knowledge of the truth.

Today I pray that you will be safe from danger seen and unseen, from the effects of a broken damaged world: viruses, brutality, domestic violence and abuse, racism and its insidious and fatal effects. I thank my God that this world is not our home, how could be? It is broken. God’s gift to us is not broken, and so I pray against brokenness, sickness of the mind, spirit, soul and body. 

I pray for strength over weakness, prosperity over poverty, righteousness over sin, I pray for salvation, that we would be prepared when unsaved people ask the church for help. I pray that the power of the blood of Jesus Christ would wash over you and over us all to cleanse, and keep us from all sin, in the name of Jesus Christ. I give You thanks, Almighty God, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
