Lord Hear The Prayers of the Helpless, Voiceless, Powerless and Hopeless

 

LORD HEAR THE PRAYERS OF THE HELPLESS:

Those locked in the darkness of the wicked or of their own minds.
Those trapped in the quicksand of Intergenerational poverty, addiction, incest, violence or ignorance.
Those whose gifts are scrutinized, plagiarized and sabotaged by money launderers, lenders and parasites.
Those who have grown old with no joyful memories to keep them company and no loved ones who care.
Those who are too young to comprehend or navigate the dysfunction that is their reality.

LORD HEAR THE PRAYERS OF THE VOICELESS:

Those who have been SILENCED by their pain.
Those who have been SILENCED by the atrocities they have seen.
Those who have been SILENCED by their poverty.
Those who have been SILENCED by their oppressors.
Those who have been SILENCED by insanity.
Those who have been SILENCED by the intimidation of the wicked.
IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

LORD HEAR THE PRAYERS OF THE POWERLESS:

Those whose lives are dominated and regimented by "powers and principalities and rulers of darkness in high places."
Those who are disenfranchised because of race, gender, faith, class, language, tribe or geography.
Those ensnared in systems that dehumanize and exploit them.
Those who have their lands confiscated, their cultures decimated and their children assimilated.
IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

LORD HEAR THE PRAYERS OF THE HOPELESS.

They don't know YOU so they believe suicide is a solution.
They don't know YOU so they live out the opinions of those who hate them.
They don't know YOU so they destroy everything they touch.
They don't know YOU so depression is their god.
They don't know YOU so they are destroyed daily by guilt and shame.
IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
