Dearest friends and co-labourers of God, I greet you in the Name of Jesus Christ our Saviour. Please pray along with me:
O God our Heavenly Father,
We know that you love the poor and needy and that they are close to your heart. We also know that you are always concerned with their daily needs. You are a God who will look upon them with mercy and who will regard them with your steadfast love.
So, we now lift the poor and needy in our community up to you - those who find it difficult to eke out a living, those who can’t hold down a proper job because of their physical or mental ailments, those who can’t even scrape enough money together to feed their children or send them to school, those who don’t have a roof over their heads and are sleeping in the void decks, in the stairwells, or out in the open.
Give us ears to listen to their cries. Give us mouths to speak out love and acceptance to them. Give us feet to walk beside those in need and to hold them up. Give us hands to clothe, feed and shelter them. Give us hearts that are willing to reach out to them instead of rejecting them and talking bad about them behind their backs. Help us to carry within ourselves the safe place that they need to them and help us to be the safe place for them, meeting them where they are at their point of need.
Heavenly Father, even while you meet their physical needs, allow us to show them your Son Jesus through our words and deeds. We want to let them know about Jesus because he is the true Bread from heaven, and whoever partakes of the true bread will not die. Through us, through what we say and do, give us the grace to let them know Jesus Christ, the One who came to give them life in abundance and a refuge for their souls.
You have given us the privilege to partner you in this wonderful work that you have prepared beforehand for us to do - to love the poor, the needy, and the marginalised. We thank you for this privilege and we ask that you grant us the courage to work in partnership with you to bring your love and salvation to these people whom you love. For your Word says that you have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of discipline. Power – to boldly reach out to them. Love – to love them the same way that you have loved us and gave us a safe place in your Kingdom. Discipline - to do what is right and to do the right things for them; to do the things you want us to do; the discipline to daily abide in your son Jesus as we allow him to abide in us. We know that without him, we can do nothing.
And it is in Jesus’ Name we pray, Amen!
