The CWG Prayer Chain Post is a weekly post for members to include their special intentions by adding a comment.   

1 John 5:1-4
Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God, and whoever loves the father loves the son. In this way we know that we love God’s children, when we love God and keep his commandments. This is what the love of God is: keeping his commandments. Nor are his commandments burdensome, because every child of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world — our faith.

The power of prayer and the power of people praying.

APRIL INTENTION PRAYER 

PRAYER TO THE MOTHER OF GOD IN TIME OF NEED

Holy Mary, Mother of our Lord,
with confidence and trust,
I come to you and ask your holy intercession,
for I am in need.

I am more than mindful
of the numerous gifts and blessing that are mine.
Indeed, my life is overflowing
with signs of God’s eternal love.

This day, however, finds me in special need,
and so I come before you,
O Holy Mother.

I place into your supple hands
my special need this day (of_____________)

Holy Mother,
I am aware that God knows my every need
and does not have to be reminded of my necessities.
At the same time, I am mindful
of your great compassion
and know the grace
of your being with me in prayer,
and so I lay this special intention before you
with great confidence.

Reminded of your Son,
who often came to you with His needs,
I am at ease
as I follow in His steps
and I bring my needs before you.

In asking this favor of our God,
I follow your holy example
and bow before the divine will,
willingly embracing
what God has chosen for me.

Amen+

  1. Thank you for this beautiful prayer and the reminder that all gifts and talents come fro God and for His purpose. Sometimes I get sidetracked about that, and when I’m not sidetracked I’m worried that I’ll miss what He’s trying to tell me! Divine Mercy, yes!! More please!!! Glory to God and humility for the gift of Easter!

  2. For all the writers who pitched at the online conference, that this would be a fruitful time for their work, as they prepare for the next step as the Lord leads them.
