Petitions – 7 December 2024

1. Dear Mother,

I ask that God will please forgive me for all my sins and help me to stay strong in faith. I pray for my PSLE next year and to enter my dream school. Please help me to find good friends who are trustworthy.

2. Please grant me the strength and patience to endure the trial that I’m going through. Lord, I made a mistake and am very sorry about it and ask for You to strengthen me with the Holy Spirit to endure the trial and pain. Please reinstate my career, but also to put You first in everything that I do. Guide me, Lord, in my thoughts, words and actions, and be with me in everything.

3. I pray for my special needs daughter to be independent, and to come to Mother Mary for protection always. I pray that my parents will be healthy, too, to help take care of her as long as they can.

4. I pray to the Lord to cover us with His protection and wisdom as we navigate a divorce from my abusive husband, who is demanding all the assets, my child, and refusing to pay any maintenance. We beseech God’s help to see us through this very difficult time at home, and also at work with a boss who is not understanding.

5. Help us to settle down in Singapore and reconcile with my mother-in-law.

6. I am once again here with a very heavy heart. All through my life I’ve seen nothing but betrayal and deceit from the person whom I trust and love the most. Time and again, I’m encountering only such persons who drain my spirit, manipulate and use me physically, emotionally and monetarily. I pray that I can overcome this ordeal.

7. Please intercede for me to undo all the knots that my sins have created this year. I copied a school paper in this year-end exam at the workplace because I was struggling to keep afloat. It was wrong of me to take shortcuts, and I am really sorry for everything that has happened. I pray for strength and courage to move forward and to close this chapter of my life, so that I can move on bravely, especially in 2025. Please pray for me, my team and also my bosses to undo the knots.

8. I lift up my mother to you and ask for strength and guidance in her relationship with my dad. She is deeply hurt by his infidelity, and struggles with depression and anxiety, yet she chooses to stay. Please intercede for her that she will have clarity, peace and the courage to make choices that honour her well-being. Please touch my dad’s heart, help him turn away from infidelity and take responsibility for his actions, including the debts he has incurred. May God bring healing to their relationship, and guide them towards restoration and wisdom. Grant my mother the support and strength she needs to find peace and joy in the Lord.

9. I come before you with a heart full of hope and determination, seeking your guidance and intercession, as I embark on a new journey of growth and success.

10. I fell head-over–heels in love with a colleague I met at work. He became my soulmate, my one true love. Please intercede for us to clear the obstacles of us being together. Please also intercede for my elder son to be healed from obsessive compulsive disorder.
