PRAYER FOR THOSE WHO NEED HELP

Prayer from Diary of Private Prayer ~ John Baillie

...."Yet I would not think only of myself or pray only for myself, as now I seek Thy presence.  I would remember before Thee all my human brothers and sisters who need help.  Especially tonight I think ~~~

of those who are faced by great temptations:

of those who are faced by tasks too great for their powers:

of those who stand inthe valley of decision:

of those who are in debt or poverty:

of those who are suffering the consequences of misdeeds long ago repented of:

of those who, by reason of early surroundings have never had a fair chance in life:

of all family circles broken by death:

of all missionaries of the Kingdom of Heaven in 

far-away corners of the earth:

of those who lift high the lamp of truth in lonely places:

Dear Father of mankind,make me the human channel, so far as in me lies,

through which Thy divine love and pity may reach the hearts and

lives of a few of those who are nearest to me.

Amen
