Prayers of intercession
Response after each phrase: Holy Spirit, affirm them today.
We pray, Holy Spirit, for all who lack confidence.
For parents struggling to meet the needs of their families...
Holy Spirit, affirm them today.
For children struggling with their work at school...
For teachers struggling to meet the demands of the day...
For young people who feel misunderstood...
For young adults struggling to find their place in the world...
For carers trying to support and comfort those who are vulnerable…
For the frail, facing diminishing strength and loss of identity...
For all people struggling to be who they truly are...
Holy Spirit affirm them – and us – today.
Amen.
