HOPE
Dear Lord,
Hope is what gives us a reason to continue in life and if you believe in God, you are never without it. Hope is something that He can provide, ensuring us that we are always strong and with a reason to follow Him. However, there will be times when we feel low and may not understand what the reason is behind the difficult times we face. When the obstacles are all around us, prayers for hope can help us move forward. The Lord will never give us more than we can handle, but He may give us more than we can handle on our own. Remember to turn to the Lord when things are too much and when you feel like there’s no hope left. He will give us the hope we need and provide us with the strength to carry on. His everlasting love is all we will ever need.
Amen.

Dear God,
Our strength is gone. We are unable—but your Word says we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. Give us your strength, not physical strength but the power to move mountains that flows from faith in Jesus. Help us to depend on you to do what we think we cannot do. Let your strength alone sustain us.
The peace that comes through faith in you surpasses all human understanding. Help us to keep our faith in you alone that we would have peace and not falter in our thinking. Protect our minds and hearts from the things of this world. Pour out your perfect peace to us.

Holy Saturday Prayer
Dear God,
On the Sabbath, Jesus rested. He was in the grave. He had finished his work.
To most people’s eyes, it looked as if it were all over. He was dead and buried. Only as a seed dies when it is planted in the earth, not to decay, but to spring to new life. Teach us to take refuge in you when we are afraid. Teach us that death is not our end. Teach us to hope always in you and in the resurrection, the making of all things new. We pray through Jesus Christ our Lord,
Amen.

Good Friday
April is dedicated to the Blessed Sacrament & Holy Spirit
Good Friday Prayer
Dear God,
Jesus cried out to you on the cross, “Why have you forsaken me?” You seemed so far from his cry and from his distress. Those who stood at the foot of the cross wondered where you were, as they saw Jesus mocked and shamed and killed. Where were you then? We, too, ask where you are, when there is trouble and suffering and death, and we cry out to you for help. Be near to us, and save us so that we may praise you for your deliverance. We wait, on Good Friday, for the resurrection of Sunday. Sometimes our lives seem like a succession of Fridays and we cannot see what is “Good.” Teach us to call your name as Jesus did. Help us to trust in you like little children. In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

Holy Thursday (Maundy Thursday) Prayer
Dear God,
You sent your Son into the world, and before his hour had come, He washed his disciples’ feet. You had given all things into his hands. He had come from you, and was going to you. What did he do? He knelt on the floor, and washed his friends’ feet. He was their teacher and their Lord, and yet he washed their feet. Help us learn from his example. Help us to do as he has done for us. The world will know we are his disciples If we love one another. Strengthen our hands and our wills for love and for service. Keep before our eyes the image of your Son, who, being God, became a Servant for our sake. All glory be to him who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Amen.

Monday - Holy Week Prayer
Dear God,
Six days before his death, your son sat with Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. He ate dinner with his friends.
Once again, your gospel tells us, Martha served, while Mary knelt at Jesus’ feet to anoint them with costly perfume. The disciple was about to betray him.
Often, we cannot discern what is best for us. When to be busy serving or when to be praying. We ask you to give us ears to hear you and eyes to see for the sake of your Son, Jesus Christ.
Amen.

May we praise him with a pure heart. May we walk in the way of his suffering,

It isn't up to us to alleviate their suffering. Carrying another's burden does not mean to take away their pain. It simply means to hold them up and point them to Christ. However, we can help them by praying for them. Knowing that you are praying for them will certainly ease their pain.
Heavenly Father, help us to bear one another’s burden with mercy and with joy, bringing them closer to Christ.

Healing
Dear God,
We give you our lives to do with as you will. We know that you can heal us, yet our faith is weak. Give us the faith to trust in you. Let your healing Spirit enter us and heal us. We thank you, God, for your presence. Let your grace shine in us and through us. Look upon us and hear our prayers as we humbly present them to you.
Amen.

“The Lord is Kind and Merciful”
Dear Lord,
Help us to be all that you are asking us to be as a result of grace given to us. As a result of our Baptism, we have been given a share in the life and love of God. We are children of our heavenly Father by grace. This divine life in us allows us to live as Jesus lived. Because of grace, we are able to forgive and be merciful as our heavenly Father forgives and is merciful. Lord show us how to love those who irritate us and forgive those who injure us.
Amen.

Prayer for Trust
Dear God,
We put our trust in you. You have never forsaken those who seek you. You have never let us down. We know that you never will let us down because our lives so far have been a testimony of your greatness. We love you Lord, and we desire that our trust will remain in you alone. We want to trust you in every area of our lives. You are the God of peace and love in whom we place our trust. Give us a peaceful heart that rests in you and a loving spirit that pours fourth your love to all others we meet today.
Amen.

Prayer for Strength
Dear Lord,
We need your strength every day of our lives. Of ourselves, we can do nothing, but we can do all things only through Jesus Christ, who will strengthen us. We do need this strength almost every day, especially the older we get. You can uphold us by your righteous right hand, and only by your Spirit can we endure. When our own strength fails, yours takes over, and we thank you for having access to you through Jesus Christ, in whose precious name, we pray.
Amen

Love Rejoices in the Truth
Dear Lord,
It is essential that we always seek and rejoice in the truth, and that we do not embrace or delight in evil. The best way to do this is to have a healthy and devotional prayer life.
Even though we find joy in many things, help us to know that real joy comes from the truth. Be with us and help us discern what things are fleeting, and what things are truthful. Allow us to focus our time and energy on the things that are loving and truthful.
Amen.

Dear Lord,
Thank you that your mercies are renewed for us every morning. We definitely need it. Lord, we pray for our hearts and others who are quick to become angry. Sometimes we get irritated, annoyed, or frustrated so easily and then we let out our anger. Instead, we should slow down and allow your Holy Spirit to calm us and speak to us. We want to be women who have control over our tempers and thoughts so that we could love everyone better. Give us your understanding Lord. In Jesus name, we pray.

On this Feast of Candlemas (the Presentation of Christ), we recall the gift Mary and Joseph gave to the world by offering baby Jesus to you in the temple. We offer up to you all the children in our families.
We place the children into your perfect will and we turn their futures over to you. Christ your Son became man for us and was presented in the temple. May he free our hearts from sin and bring us into your presence. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son who lives and reigns with you for ever and ever.
