How to pray for hurting people, This is my prayer…

The Presence of God's Image  

Lord, many of your children are hurting today, confused and suffering spiritually, physically, as well as mentally.  A countless number are in pain feeling they have reached their rope’s end with no more hope. They have exhausted all possibilities and do not know what to do. Father, you know each soul and the burdens which plagues them so I ask in the name of Jesus that you would allow your Spirit to go door to door, hospital to hospital, prison, to prison and city to city across this great country of America, and then go over the waters into all foreign lands touching, anointing, saving, and healing every individual. 

Father God in heaven as you heal your children, I also pray for development of God loving and fearing relationships. Society has lost the meaning and understanding of the word, we have all become a selfish and self-centered community.  It is all about us, we don’t practice love or relationship skills with friends, family and especially not with you. We have taken people and you God for granted.  There is jealousy, hatred, envy and strife destroying the moral fiber of your people and for where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. Please heal this land from our transgressions, selfishness, and vindictiveness. Just as your word states in 2 chronicles; if we your children would turn from our ways seek your face and ask to heal this land you will do so.  Lord I am praying this day you will begin the healing process. Brake yokes which have weighed down the minds and spirits of your children.  Remove fears and doubts that lurk in our minds which cause people to not reach their full potential. Purge them of their troubles and sins that have encumbered them from being all that they can be in your name.  Remove the darkness and allow your light to strengthen them and may it make away for their lights to shine so that man can see your good works and to glorify your name! Through this process I ask and pray that your children will form a relationship with you.  Learn to be in prayer, supplication, praise and worship of your name.  I ask that you will touch and anoint your children igniting a burning deep inside and bestow them with wisdom and a loving spirit. 

Lord, I believe despite the bleak outlook so many of your children have on life there are still great days of hope ahead and that hopefulness is through you!  Your word tells us that as our Shepard you will go after lost sheep.  So I pray this day Father God, in the name of Jesus, you the Shepard will find and bring your children back to the fold joyously. Meet them at their crossroad of uncertainty and convey peace to their souls. For your word clearly tells us that you will never leave or forsake us at any time. This I pray in your son Jesus Christ name, Amen.
