CWG Prayer Chain Post: August 17, 2014

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

Matthew 15:21-28
Jesus left that place and withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And suddenly out came a Canaanite woman from that district and started shouting, ‘Lord, Son of David, take pity on me. My daughter is tormented by a devil.’ But he said not a word in answer to her. And his disciples went and pleaded with him, saying, ‘Give her what she wants, because she keeps shouting after us.’ He said in reply, ‘I was sent only to the lost sheep of the House of Israel.’ But the woman had come up and was bowing low before him. ‘Lord,’ she said, ‘help me.’ He replied, ‘It is not fair to take the children’s food and throw it to little dogs.’ She retorted, ‘Ah yes, Lord; but even little dogs eat the scraps that fall from their masters’ table.’ Then Jesus answered her, ‘Woman, you have great faith. Let your desire be granted.’ And from that moment her daughter was well again.

The power of prayer and the power of people praying.

AUGUST INTENTION PRAYER

PRAYER FOR ALL NEEDS

We beg you, Lord,

to help and defend us.

Deliver the oppressed.

Pitty the insignificant.

Raise the fall.

Show yourself to the needy.

Heal the sick.

Bring back those of your people who have gone astray.

Feed the hungry.

Lift up the weak.

Take off the prisoners’ chains.

May every nation come to know

that you alone are God,

that Jesus is your Child,

that we are your people, the sheep that pasture.

Amen.

-Clement of Rome
