Praying for the Church and for the world
Prayer doesn’t have to be complicated or polished. Praying is simply coming to God as you are. Because Jesus is both our Lord and our friend, we can approach him with humility, honesty, and trust. Whether you have just a few quiet moments or a heavy burden on your heart, you’re invited to take that step. Below, you can pray a simple prayer, share a request so others can pray with you, spend time lifting up needs from our extended prayer list, intercede for global missions, or be encouraged through a daily devotional. Wherever you are in your journey, there’s a place for you to connect with God here.
Let us pray for the Church and for the world. We beseech You, Master, to be our helper and protector. Save the afflicted among us; have mercy on the lowly; Raise up the fallen; appear to the needy; heal the ungodly; Restore the wanderers of Your people; Feed the hungry; ransom our prisoners; Raise up the sick; comfort the faint-hearted. A Prayer of St. Clement of Rome (early 2nd century CE)
