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

Psalms 4:2, 4, 7-8, 9
Children of men, how long will you be heavy of heart, why love what is vain and chase after illusions? Pause be careful not to sin, speak in your hearts, and on your beds keep silence. Pause to my heart you are a richer joy than all their corn and new wine. In peace I lie down and at once fall asleep, for it is you and none other, Yahweh, who make me rest secure.

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+
