Prayers please, for my nephew. He contracted sudden and severe community-acquired
pneumonia this week, possibly complicated by pleurisy. His name is Lee, and he is married to Lisa,
and they have two young children.
Dear God, please inspire more and more people to say ‘flash prayers’ for everyone they see, for at least five minutes every day, especially when they see people coming towards them in the street, people in any queue -in an airport, at a till, or a queue for Holy Communion, people of any age, any colour, any creed, rich or poor, friends or enemies.
Thank you, Lord, for giving me these prayers: -When looking at a man, “Dear God, help him” -When looking at a woman, “Dear God, help her” -When looking at a group, “Dear God, help them”
Lord, such ‘flash prayers’ bring joy and lead us to help people in practical ways. May we use them more and more and may the Holy Spirit inspire us to share the beauty of ‘flash prayers’ with many others, sending ripples of goodness and peace throughout the world.
