Prayer For Homeless Families
Dear Lord, You know how important teaching is and how challenging it can be. As our children sit in classrooms, renew teachers in their passion to help students enjoy the adventure of learning. Give educators creative ideas and resources to solve their most challenging situations.
Dear Lord, Scripture tells us so many times that people who believe in You are to be kind to the poor and make sure they have enough to eat. We pray that You don't let us forget Your command to support children and families in need.
Dear Lord, You are an ever-present help in time of trouble. Be a source of hope and encouragement to families with single mothers and fathers. Let them see Your love in both word and deed from the Christ followers in their lives.
Dear Lord, Your Word often talks about the needy finding safety. We pray today for the homeless, that children and families in need with no place to call home will be guided to places of peace and security.
Dear God Almighty, Lord of hosts we praise You today for Your overarching goodness and mercy, specifically and graciously located in Your Son and our Savior Christ Jesus.
Because of Him, we confidently believe that whether we live or die, we will be with You. On this particular day in which You have called us to live, we lift up to You those who are hungry and malnourished, as well as those who are without shelter. Lord, have mercy upon them. Use Your people to assist them in receiving exactly what they need today. And, in Your mercy, provide the means to sustain them with the necessities of life from this day
forward.
We are confident that You hear and will answer our prayer, for we lay it before You in the name of Jesus Christ.
Amen.
Merciful Heavenly Father,
Make your compassion known to those who are suffering from lack. Remember especially the young, aged, and otherwise vulnerable among them. We pray most of all that they would experience your love toward them and secondly that you be their protection and provision in time of need. Fill their hearts with the warmth of your hope and the light of your love.
Move on us, Lord, to be agents of your provision. Stir the hearts of the more fortunate among us with the knowledge that when we feed and clothe those in need, we are clothing and feeding Jesus (Mt 25:34-46).
Amen.
Father, we ask you to open our eyes and be sensitive to your spirit. Help us to have the heart and mind of Christ. Teach us to be aware of the needs of your people.
Father, one person can make a differance and help us to be that one. When we feed and clothe your children, we are feeding and clothing Jesus. Bless all the ones who labor to make a difference in this world.
Most of all, we thank you, God, for caring and loving us and sending your son to die on the cross for each and everyone of us.
Amen.
Shelter us, O Lord, and give us the compassion and knowledge to help others in their search for shelter.
Help us to be a compassionate presence to those who enter Room at the Inn.
Continue to bless us, O Lord, with night sites that make comfort and joy realities for our families and volunteers who radiate God's love.
And, as Mother Teresa says: Each time people come into contact with us, they must become different and better people because of having met us.
Amen.
