We come before you today humbly asking for your healing and loving touch be given to those women throughout the world who are hurting from physical abuse. Remove hatred from those who do not treat your daughters with respect and love.
There are women who cannot feed themselves because they must feed the men even before the children and there is not enough food. Just as Jesus was able to feed the masses, stop the hunger from hurting those who only want love and peace.
Your Son, our Savior teaches us to care and love all people. He has also taught us that YOU have created us all the same . Let us learn to love each other as You love us. Let us learn to treat every person with respect, teach us that by being kind to others, others will then learn.
We are now in Advent, awaiting the coming of the One who is called Peace, Love and Joy, allow those who are stopping others from enjoying the presence of your Son in their lives, to feel the need to become kinder to all they meet.
Let those who can spread your loving message speak out with strong voices, teaching love, and acceptance is better than hate and rejection.
Thank you for answering our prayers , Father, and for continuing to fill our hearts and minds with your grace and peace.
In Jesus’ name we pray Amen
