We join you in praying for those who are struggling with their resources and financial hardships. It is truly a testament to your faith that you acknowledge Jesus as the way, the truth, and the life.
We pray for these families and children now:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up all those who are struggling with financial hardships. We pray for your provision and guidance in their lives. Help them to trust in you, for you are the one who provides for all our needs according to your riches in glory by Christ Jesus. We also pray for your people, that we may be moved with compassion to help those in need, just as the Good Samaritan did in the story Jesus told in the book of Luke.
Father, we also ask that you would open our eyes to the needs around us. Help us to be your hands and feet, extending your love and care to those who are struggling. We pray for your blessing upon the families that the basic needs of the children are met.
Lord Jesus, you taught us that whatever we do for the least of these, we do for you. Help us to remember that our service to others is a service to you as Lord Jesus said in the book of Matthew.
In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
We are encouraged by the words of Jesus in Matthew 25:35-40 WEB:
For I was hungry and you gave me food. I was thirsty and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger and you welcomed me. I was naked and you clothed me. I was sick and you visited me. I was in prison and you came to me. Then the righteous will answer him, saying, Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you; or thirsty, and give you a drink? When did we see you as a stranger, and take you in; or naked, and clothe you? When did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you? The King will answer them, Most certainly I tell you, because you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.
Together, let us strive to be the light of the world, shining the love of Christ to those around us.
