A Prayer for Youth

Heavenly Father, I pray for the young people of today. May they be filled with a passion for truth, justice, and goodness. I pray for their protection from the pressures and temptations of the world, and that they would find their identity in You. May they grow in wisdom and strength, and may they be leaders who will bring positive change to society. I pray that they would be rooted in Your Word and that they would be examples of love, kindness, and courage to those around them.

1 Timothy 4:12

“Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.” Lord, help our youth to be strong in their faith and lead by example. Amen.

Prayer

Lord, I pray for the youth of today. Strengthen them in their faith and help them to stay true to You despite the challenges they face. May they be examples of love, integrity, and purity to those around them. Protect them from the pressures and temptations of the world, and guide them to make wise decisions. May they grow into leaders who make a positive impact on society. Fill them with courage, wisdom, and passion to pursue the good and bring Your love to the world. Amen.

Thanksgiving for My Marriage (Husband)

Lord, from my whole heart I thank you for having lead me through your sacrament into the married state, sanctified my matrimonial union, and opened the treasures of your grace to me, that I might be able to meet the duties of my state of life, and to persevere in fidelity and love towards my wife, in conjugal purity, and to bring up my children in your Church, and thus to work out my salvation. I thank you for every grace by virtue of this sacrament I have received. I thank you for your protection and assistance, and for all good which you have granted me and mine. Praise be to thee for all eternity!

For all that I have failed to do as a Christian husband, forgive me in your infinite mercy and for the sake of your Son, Jesus. I am firmly resolved that, with your assistance, I will strive harder to fulfil my duties faithfully and conscientiously.

For my wife also I ask you favor and grace. Grant that we, so intimately united by your sacrament, may always be in the love and fear of God, that our married life be, as it should, an image of the intimate union of Christ with his holy Church, and lead us to eternal life. Remember also, O Lord, the children you have given us. Bless and protect them, grant them grace that they may live according to your will. Assist me that I may bring them up entirely for you.

I pray this in the name of Jesus. AMEN.

Mary, pray for us. St. Joseph, pray for us.

A Prayer for Families

Lord, I pray for families everywhere. I ask for Your blessings upon marriages, parents, and children. Strengthen the bond of love and unity within families, and may they be places of support, nurturing, and peace. Help parents to raise their children with wisdom and kindness, guiding them in the ways of the Lord. I pray for healing in broken families, and that Your grace and love will restore relationships. May families reflect Your love and be a source of strength and joy.

Ephesians 6:1-4

“Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and mother… Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.” Lord, bless families with harmony and understanding. Amen.

Prayer

Father, I pray for every family. Strengthen the bonds of love between husbands and wives, parents and children. May families be places of refuge, where love, respect, and faith grow. Help parents to nurture their children with wisdom and patience, teaching them Your ways. For those who face challenges, bring healing and restoration to broken relationships. Let Your peace dwell within each home, and may families reflect Your love to the world. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

The Power of Scripture Before Bed

The very art of reading and meditating on the Word before we sleep is a quiet defiance against the anxieties that infiltrate our minds. In a world filled with distractions, Scripture anchors us, reminding us that true rest is found in the presence of God, shielding us from the noise of our anxieties with the depth of His love. 

Not all Scriptures are equal when it comes to soothing a troubled heart. Some offer refuge with their words, while others call us to action. Here are Bible verses carefully selected for their specific ability to quiet down anxiety: 

  • Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV): “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” 
  • Isaiah 41:10 (NIV): “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” 
  • Psalm 23:4 (NIV): “Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” 
  • Matthew 11:28-30 (NIV): “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” 
  • Psalm 34:17-18 (NIV): “The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; He delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” 
  • 1 Peter 5:7 (NIV): “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.”

為青少年屬靈爭戰的代禱詞

(尤其有行為偏差的孩童及青少年)

天父,我到您面前,讚美、祟拜、愛慕您。感謝您派遣您的獨生子耶穌,賜與孩童及青少年生命、寬恕他們的罪,並在你的庭院內,預賜他們一處居所。請您派遣聖神引導他們,在每日的生活中為他們增強力量。天父,請打開他們的眼睛,讓他們能看見您的偉大、尊威和勝利。現在,我們把孩童及青少年放在耶穌基督的十字架下,請您以耶穌基督的寶血覆蓋他們,用基督的光圍繞他們;並以耶穌的名,禁止任何勢力干擾您在他們生命中要完成的工作。請遣善牧,協助他們穿上基督徒的全副武裝,為能抵抗魔鬼的陰謀。協助他們站穩,用真理作帶;束起腰,穿上正義作甲。拿起信德作盾牌,拿著聖神【即天主的話】當利劍(弗六10-17),以抗衝敗壞的潮流。請教導他們順服您的聖神,保護他們勿以反叛心態作祟而遠離您。

天主,求您粉碎撒旦在孩童及青少年生命中所有控制途徑,並讓他們現在就放棄這些途徑。若他們在任何方面曾向撒旦退讓,現在就請賜他們改邪歸正的勇氣,並把這一切放在耶穌基督的王權之下。

因耶穌基督之名,請您將存在於空氣,水,大地,地下和陰府裡的所有邪靈綑綁,粉碎邪靈迷惑人心的力量。並以耶穌基督寶血的救恩臨在於空中、大氣中、水中、 大地和它所結的果實中、以及在地上和陰府中。請在孩童及青少年出入的場所、家庭;接觸的家人、親戚、朋友、伙伴,以及所有供應的來源上,打上耶穌的印記; 請因耶穌基督之名,以耶穌的寶血,保護我們的孩童及青少年,免受來自各種不同來源邪靈的任意傷害。

因耶穌基督之名,從魔鬼的各種誘惑中,請救助我們的孩童及青少年,免受罪惡的支配。使他們有能力棄絕撒旦和其所有的工作及空泛的諾言;棄絕所有想從秘術, 錯誤的崇拜和邪術中得到好處的念頭。天父,當我們的孩童及青少年,受自己、朋友、親人或祖先所呼求過的黑暗勢力綑綁或壓制時;求您寬恕!求您解救!

請救助我,救助我們的孩童及青少年,棄絕任何不屬於上主的力量,以及不是對耶穌基督的膜拜。特別棄絕那些所作過的迷信行為:占星術、星座、占卜算命、鐵板神 算、掌相、風水、轉運、擇日、作福、改名、水晶球、紙牌占卜、電腦占卜、紫微斗數、碟仙、筆仙、拜邪神、問米、神打、劃符、六壬神功、奇門遁甲等,或任何一種秘術遊戲。請因耶穌基督之名,打破那些針對孩童及青少年的詛咒。

因耶穌基督之名,請您將控制著孩童及青少年的驕傲、貪心、懶惰、嫉妒、忿怒、吝嗇、迷色、不寬恕、懼怕、不安全、軟弱、賭博、放任、自毀、生病的邪靈與心魔束縛起來。命令他們離開孩童及青少年。主耶穌,請以您的謙信充滿孩童及青少年,來代替驕傲;以你您的節制充滿他們,來代替貪心;以您的勤奮充滿他們,來代替懶惰;以感謝和讚美主的心充滿他們,來代替嫉妒;以忍耐充滿他們,來代替忿怒;以慷慨充滿他們,來代替吝嗇;以您和聖母的貞潔充滿孩童及青少年,來代替迷色;以信賴和寬宏充滿他們,來代替不寬恕;以愛充滿他們,來代替懼怕;以愛和信德充滿他們,來代替不安全;以您的威能充滿他們,來代替軟弱;以行善充滿他們,來代替暴力或黃賭毒;以自律充滿他們,來代替放任;以自愛充滿青少年,來替代自毀;以健康充滿青少年,來代替疾病……。

慈愛的天父,請讓孩童及青少年領洗時的淨化聖水和耶穌基督的寶血,倒流回去他們祖先的世代中,洗淨他們家族中的一切沾污。主,感謝您,釋放我們的孩童及青少年。「靠著那愛我們的主,我們在這一切事上,大獲全勝。」(羅八37),亞孟。
