Let us confidently approach the throne of grace to receive mercy and to find grace for timely help. – Hebrews 4:16

Our first intention are for those affected by the catastrophic earthquake in Haiti.

• We of course pray for those who lost their lives, “Saints of God receive their souls, receive their souls and present them to God.”
• We also pray for those who are trapped or injured. We pray that as search efforts continue that anyone else who is still alive in the rubble will be found. We pray for the injured that they are well cared for and tended to and that in their suffering the might find some peace in the arms of Christ.
• In addition we must pray for the aid workers and relief agencies who are tirelessly working to rescue those who are trapped, to feed the hungry, to distribute food and water, to mend the wounds of the broken, to cloth and bath those who lost everything, to house the orphaned. May the grace of God be with these selfless people who no doubt will encounter pain that is too much for the human soul in the coming weeks.
• We also pray specifically for the orphaned in Haiti. There are thousands of them, and many orphanages were destroyed. We pray for their caretakers and for the kindness of others to help house, clothe, and feed them. We also pray that many homes would open their doors to these children who wish for family.

PRAYERS FROM READERS and FRIENDS:

• For Matt  -  we pray for his chronic back pain. Give him the strength he needs and help him through the pain. We also offer up prayer for a special intention.
• For Jolyn who requested prayers. May God’s grace surround her.
• My most heartbreaking prayer intention is for my fiancé whose parents have just seperated and are on the road to a divorce after 26+ years of marriage. They have produced three beautiful children, but somewhere amidst it all have forgotten to invite Our Father into the marriage. My Fiancé is about to do his Bar Exam and this has deeply affected him, and his concentration on his studies. I pray that he completes his studies well and that he passes. His mother has been unfaithful and I can sense his trust in women and wives have deeply diminished. I pray with all my heart that his mother can see the precious love and divine gift of marriage that God has granted her, and that her heart may turn contrite. I pray that God works a miracle in her and with the intercession of our most Holy Mother she can be guided back to her heartbroken husband. I pray for all marriages, that they remain sacred and blessed, including my parents marriage which has fallen apart due to infidelity by my father, will be made whole again and that the Lord whom with all things are possible will not look upon our sins, but instead will welcome us back into his kingdom and grace with open arms. I pray that God looks upon this intention with merciful eyes. – Anonymous

Continued prayers for past weeks intentions

• For the repose of the soul of Tony Hodo. – Renee V.
• Please pray for my dear sis-in-law who was just diagnosed with Breast Cancer – Healing Miracle for all. And my father is just now battling Leukemia – healing miracle – to give glory to God. Thank you. – Joan W.
• Please pray my husband, Robert Bravo, and his unit, they deploy to Afghanistan this week.  Also my friend’s husband Ryan Bennett he’s going too and their whole team of course and if its possible can you pray for Tiffany Smith, and her daughter Khloe ( 2 months old). Her husband died a few weeks ago in Afghanistan from an IED. – Lourdes B.
• We also pray for a reader who has had a hard time requesting prayer. She is a wife and mother of two children. She is struggling with feeling like she is not a good mother and wife. Also, and more pressing is that their family’s financial situation is dire and she is struggling with immense anxiety, worry, and fear. She requested prayer, “so I can find the strength to realize I am not alone, and for God to show me what he wants me to do.”
• I would also ask you to pray for a family who I have known for several years from a conference I spoke at regularly. They lost their father two years ago last week. We pray for their loss and their continued healing. May God continue to draw them close to him and may they come to know him as Father.
• We also lift up Ryan who is dying of brain cancer and his wife Lori. (From Roxanne)
