Dear Father in Heaven,
We pray for the poor of the world. Lord, you’ve asked us to feed the hungry and clothe the naked. Help us Lord to be obedient to your calling and live as your ambassadors.
Help our political leaders to understand the need for the right policies to tackle poverty. Save us from the wrong policy decisions that risks precious resources in wrong avenues.
Renew our hearts to care for the poor. Help the poor see the greater Hope and Joy that is in you, and help them see the Hope that is alive in you.
Lord, we pray for faster and long-lasting economic development which will empower the poor by improving their living standards. Lord, help us to utilize your resources in a optimum way to address the challenges surrounding poverty.
Lord, we thank you for your protection and abundant grace. Thank you for helping us be sensitive to the needs of this world and we pray that you will make us more and more like your son, so that we live a life of grace and charity.
In Jesus name we pray,
Amen
