Petitions – 23 August 2025

1. Dearest Mother,

I am 10 months into my job as an occupational therapist. Some days, I feel so incompetent and I am not sure if I am doing my best for my patients. I have two more months before I qualify as a fully registered therapist. Please pray for me to do well. The past 10 months of transitioning into a working adult have been both stressful and emotionally challenging.

Your daughter.

2. Dear Mother,

A year ago I was sexually assaulted at work. I feel disheartened that my organisation has not taken action, even though I presented clear evidence of the culprit’s misconduct. This episode has left me in depression for more than a year. I pray for the Lord’s grace and healing.

3. Dearest Mother,

I pray for your intercession and guidance. It feels like I’m at the lowest point of my life. I have been fruitlessly searching for a job for the last two years, and now a long-term relationship has ended. I feel broken, bitter, desperate and resentful. I just want to find peace and love.

Your son.

4. Dear Mother,

Please pray for my sister-in-law, who was diagnosed with breast cancer. Please intercede for her that she may respond well to treatment.

Your loving daughter.

5. Dearest Mother Mary,

My husband visited the GP at the Polyclinic. The doctor suspects that he may have colon cancer, as he has blood in his stools. He has been given a referral letter to see a specialist. Mother Mary, please intercede for him.

Your faithful daughter.

6. Dearest Mother Mary,

My daughter is in the balloting process for school registration. I am feeling anxious, as it is important for us that she gets into the school that we feel is right for her. Please give us peace and assurance that God is in control.

Your faithful daughter.

7. Heavenly Mother,

I come to you and ask for your prayers, that God may bless my husband and me with the precious gift of parenthood. Please intercede for us, loving Mother, to be blessed with a child.

8. Mother Mary,

Please pray for my grand-daughter and her teammates, who will be doing a presentation in their Polytechnic. I pray that they will be calm and confident to give a favourable presentation.

9. Dear Mother Mary,

Be with me as I start my university journey. Please pray that I may encounter a considerate roommate, helpful course mates and kind professors.

10. Dearest Mother of Perpetual Help,

I come to you heartbroken hearing my son sharing about the struggles in his marriage. Please intercede for him and his wife. First, that they might return to the practice of the faith, then that they will grow in patience, understanding and forgiveness. Thank you, Mother Mary.

Your grateful daughter.

11. Mother Mary,

Please pray for my father. He is a gambling addict and is never honest with my mum. I don’t want any harm towards her or my family. I do really love my dad too and I ask that he may be changed by God’s grace.

Your grateful child

12. Dear Mother Mary,

I was victim of a scam and all the money in my account was stolen. I am praying for your help and intercession to give me strength during this time. Please help me on my financial struggles and I pray what was taken away will be restored.

Your loving daughter
