A Prayer For Forgiveness
Lord, I know that the nation whose God is the Lord is a blessed nation indeed, and yet I
know that the nations in general and my own nation in particular, have turned their backs on
You who made us and redeemed us with the precious blood of Your only begotten Son, our
Saviour Jesus Christ.

We have failed miserably as we sought to live our lives apart from You. We have fallen
deeper into moral decay and degenerated into a spiritual void that only You can lighten and
heal. Convict us Lord both individually and nationally of our need to turn to You, for You
alone are the answer to our shocking downward spiral. I pray that individually and nationally
we may turn from our sins, repent of the way that we have walked away from the fountain of
life and carved our stagnant cisterns in the putrefying rocks-pools of fallen humanity. May we
look to Jesus as our health and healer, for there is no health in us.

Look down in pity on us, for we are lost and miserable offenders, who deserve not your pity
but Your judgement. Create in us a clean heart, with purified thoughts and a penitent
disposition. Father, we do not deserve Your mercy but Lord, I plead Your pity over our
hopeless nations and pray that You would restore to us the joy of our salvation, according to
Your great mercy and loving-kindness. Help us all to repent, return and remember all that
Christ has done on the cross of Calvary for every member of the human race. Lord, turn the
hearts of sinners to their Saviour so that they may be delivered from this sin sick world. In
Jesus' name,

Amen.

A Cry For Mercy
Oh God our Father and Creator of all, we bless and thank You that you are ruler over all and
that nothing happens that You do not permit for Your greater glory. We thank You for the
many blessings that You shower on the children of men, which are over and above all that
we could ask or think or deserve.

Lord, we have walked away from Your laws and Your statutes. We have not loved You as
we should. We have blasphemed Your works and Your ways. We have turned our backs
against the glorious salvation that You have offered to each member of this rebellious race,
through Your grace and favour. We have poured scorn on the Your loving-kindness and
tender mercy that You extend to us day by day, and which is new every morning. We have
rejected the gospel of grace and treated the sacrifice of Your only begotten Son with
contempt, and we are worthy of nothing but Your wrath and fiery judgement. Father, we
have sinned against heaven and before Your face and are no longer worthy to receive Your
grace or forgiveness.

But Lord, You are a gracious God, long-suffering and of great mercy and we cry out to You
today for our own rebellions sins and the sins of the prideful nations, which ascend to you as
a putrid cloud of dark blackness. Lord, we plead Your mercy

Forgive us we pray. Forgive our neglect and our rebellion. Forgive our indifference and our
pride. Forgive our unthankful hearts and our foolish ways. We are not worthy to seek Your
mercy nor to beg Your forgiveness for we have been a rebellions people and the nations
have unanimously turned their backs on Your will and Your ways. But look down in
compassion on the human race, for we are the work of Your hand and Your Son died to
redeem mankind form the pit of hell. Hear us oh Lord, as we plead for forgiveness for our
many transgressions and for the sins of our own nations. Oh Lord forgive. Oh Lord have
mercy. Oh Lord hear our plea and let our cry come unto to You and heal us we pray. Turn
the hearts of the fools who have said in their heart there is no God, back to their Creator.
Humble the hearts of rebellions men so that they see Your face and are saved. In Jesus
name we pray,

Amen.

Prayer For Mercy For The Nations

Father, You alone are the almighty God Who is abounding in mercy and loving-kindness.
Father, You have shown great patience and long-suffering to so many people down through
the centuries and yet we know that Your justified and perfect wrath will one day fall on the
nations of this world if we continue to disobey Your laws and turn our backs on the God of
our Salvation and His anointed Christ and Saviour Son.

Merciful God, hear our fervent prayer for all who suffer from the coronavirus.
May those who are infected receive the proper treatment
and the comfort of your healing presence.
May their caregivers, families and neighbors be shielded
from the onslaught of the virus.
Give solace to those who grieve the loss of loved ones.
Protect and guide those who strive to find a cure,
that their work may conquer the disease and restore communities to wholeness and health.
Help us to rise above fear. We ask all this through the intercession of Our Lady of Lourdes,
and in the name of your Son, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, now and forever.
Amen.
