We pray for all those that feel persecuted, be that through their race, religion, sexual orientation or otherwise. Let us all be leading examples of kind-hearted, compassionate, caring people of God. Let us stand-up for those that are unfairly treated, let us uphold Christian virtues to help all those in need.
We pray for all those that are worried about their mental health and feeling scared and lonely. Let us reach out to those that we know are suffering and struggling. Let us be beacons of hope and understanding for them as they seek the professional help they need.
Heavenly King, be with us as we journey to Easter. Help us to prepare for Your ultimate sacrifice as we ready ourselves for Your passion. Amen.
