Bring your need to Jesus and ask him for mercy

Keep the need to yourself until you can fix it

Wait for others to decide whether your need matters

Speak about God in general without naming the need

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I need your mercy. I admit that I have sinned and cannot save myself. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I turn from my sin and confess you as my Lord. Have mercy on me and lead my life. Amen.

Lord, Have Mercy on Me

Lord, revive your Church so we do not stay silent in our need. Make us quick to call on you, humble enough to admit weakness, and tender toward those who feel unseen. Let us cry out for your mercy and trust your compassion, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Awaken Your People to Cry Out

Father, for anyone who feels weak, overlooked, or stuck by the roadside, let your mercy meet them today. Give relief where there is pain, courage where there is fear, and hope where there has been silence, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Mercy for the Overlooked

Pray by naming one real need, speaking it directly to Jesus, and asking for mercy before you try to manage it on your own.

Pray the Need Directly

Bring these themes to God: humility to admit need, boldness to pray out loud, trust that Jesus hears, and perseverance when answers seem delayed.

Growing Bold Faith

Pray for people who feel unseen or helpless, for those living with disability or illness, and for your own heart to notice them and respond with compassion.
