Lord, I pray for those who feel hopeless. By your grace & mercy, I pray that they would come to know that it is not complete hopelessness but rather a space of less hope. I pray they would receive glimmers of hope to remind them of this.

We pray for those who are lonely & desperate for connection with others. For those who long to live in community & not on their own. Holy Spirit I pray that you would nudge us to invite & include others onto our homes & to share our lives with kindness & sensitivity. Amen.

Lord I pray for those whose mental health problems can speak lies into the essence of who they are. I pray that your truth will shine into their minds, hearts and spirits and lift them from darkness and fear into life in all its fullness.

Heavenly Father, We lift up those feeling lonely and isolated to you. Show us how to support them like Jesus. Bring comfort and practical help. Let your Kingdom come and your will be done. In Jesus' name. Amen.

pray for people whom I know feel trapped in a difficult situation. I pray that you would tenderly lift their faces towards the horizon. May they see and feel hope. Let them gaze into the heavens and let them know that you are there for them.

To see You high and lifted up Shinin' in the light of Your glory Pour out Your power and love As we sing holy, holy, holy Since reading the prayer for today these few lines of this song have been Stirling in my heart So those that are surrounded by people yet still lonely
