Prayer for drug addicts and drunkards 

Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, your beloved Son, we offer you, our beloved brothers… for your mercy.
You love them and care for them as the apple of your eye.

Lord Jesus, these beloved brothers are addicted to liquor/drugs, Lord have mercy on them.
They destroy peace in the family as well as in the society.

Forgive them Lord; strengthen them with the power and strength of your Holy Spirit.
May the power of your divine word penetrate into their souls and bodies. 

“A workman who is a drunkard will not become rich” (Sir 19:1). Lord, enlighten them with your divine word.  

Woe to those who rise early in the morning that they may run after strong drink who tarry late into the evening till wine inflames them. (Is 5:11)

Lord strengthen them with the power of your word.
Lord Jesus save their souls, wash their souls and bodies by your precious blood.

Holy Spirit create in them a new spirit and steadfast will and make them renewed people.
Mary mother intercede for them. 

Amen.   

Suggestions 

1. Pray continuously for those who are associated with the production and distribution of liquor and drugs so that they may be anointed by the Holy Spirit.     

2. Let us live honorably as in the day, not in reveling and drunkenness, not in debauchery and licentiousness, not in quarrelling and jealousy. Instead put on the Lord Jesus Christ and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires (Romans 13:13-14) 

Prayer in the time of Illness 

Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus our Savior, Holy Spirit our comforter, I adore you, I praise you and I love you.
Bless and help me to discern your will in the illness that I am suffering from.

Give me courage, patience and cheerfulness to bear all weakness and all pain.
Give me a mind filled with your peace.
Give to all doctors, surgeons and nurses wisdom in their minds and gentleness and sympathy in their hearts.
Lord Jesus, mighty healer of soul and body, come to me this day at this time and show me that your healing touch is the most powerful one.

I cry to you Lord – “Heal me, o Lord and I shall be healed; save me and I shall be saved, for you are my praise” (Jer. 17:14).  
I cry to you Lord – “There is no soundness in my flesh because of thy indignation, there is no health in my bones because of my sins” (Ps 38:3).

Lord, forgive me, make me whole. I praise you Lord Jesus. I thank you Jesus. Mary Mother, health of the sick, intercede for me. Amen.

Prayer in the time of Worries and Anxieties

O God, my beloved Father, I thank you for this day. You know how worried and anxious I am about….

Help me to be sensible and to see that worrying about things does not make them any better.
Help me to be calm and serene in such situations of life.

Help me to cast all my worries and anxieties upon you for I know that you care for me.
Help me to be sure that nothing can happen to me through which you cannot bring me in safety and that nothing can separate me from your love.

I believe and trust that your everlasting arms are underneath me and above me and give me something of the peace that the world cannot give and cannot ever take away. Jesus my Lord you said to me ‘Do not be afraid, Take courage, It is I’. Jesus I praise you. Jesus I love you. There is power in your mighty name. Alleluia.  

Holy Spirit, my consoler, give me comfort in all difficult situations of life. I trust in your power. Enrich me with your power intervention. Thank you Lord. Praise you Lord. Amen.
