Prayer for all Poor, Homeless, and Neglected People

O GOD, Almighty and merciful, 

who heals those that are broken in heart, 

and turns the sadness of the sorrowful to joy; 

Let your fatherly goodness 

be upon all 

that you have made. 

Remember in pity those who are this day 

destitute, homeless, or forgotten 

by their fellow men. 

Bless the congregation of your poor. 

Uplift those who are cast down. 

For those who suffer innocently, 

I pray that you will sanctify their endurance 

of the wrongs worked on them, 

keeping their hearts free of bitterness. 

Cheer with hope all 

discouraged and unhappy people, 

and help those who are tempted 

into sin by their poverty; 

though they be troubled on every side, 

suffer them not to be distressed; 

though they be perplexed, 

save them from despair. 

Grant this, O Lord, 

for the love of him, 

who for our sakes endured poverty 

and blameless suffering, 

your Son, our Jesus Christ.

Amen.

Prayer in time of War

O God, King of all kings, 

and Governor of all things, 

whose power no creature is able to resist, 

to whom it belongeth justly to punish sinners, 

and to be merciful to those who truly repent; 

Save and deliver us, 

we humbly beseech thee, 

from the hands of our enemies; 

abate their pride, 

assuage their malice, 

and confound their devices; 

that we, being armed with thy defence, 

may be preserved evermore from all perils, 

to glorify thee, who art the only giver of all victory; 

through the merits of thy Son, 

Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Unanswered Prayer

I asked for strength that I might achieve;

I was made weak that I might learn humbly to obey.

I asked for health that I might do greater things;

I was given infirmity that I might do better things.

I asked for riches that I might be happy;

I was given poverty that I might be wise.

I asked for power that I might have the praise of men;

I was given weakness that I might feel the need of God.

I asked for all things that I might enjoy life;

I was given life that I might enjoy all things.

I got nothing that I had asked for,

but everything that I had hoped for.

Almost despite myself my unspoken prayers were answered;

I am, among all men, most richly blessed.

Amen.

Jesus miracle in financial needs

Jesus performed a miracle by the four-drachma coin in the mouth of the fish in settlement of his and Peter taxes. Therefore we must the same faith as Peter, who had faith in Jesus commands to throw out a line at the lake and open the mouth of the first fish caught.

Matthew 17:24-27
The Temple Tax

24 After Jesus and his disciples arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma temple taxcame to Peter and asked, �Doesn�t your teacher pay the temple tax?�

25 �Yes, he does,� he replied.

When Peter came into the house, Jesus was the first to speak. �What do you think, Simon?� he asked.�From whom do the kings of the earth collect duty and taxes�from their own children or from others?�

26 �From others,� Peter answered.

�Then the children are exempt,� Jesus said to him. 27 �But so that we may not cause offense, go to the lake and throw out your line. Take the first fish you catch; open its mouth and you will find a four-drachma coin. Take it and give it to them for my tax and yours.�

�God, You are my Father. If I asked for my earthly father�s advice, he�d give it to me. Now I need Your wisdom to deal with my (state your difficulties, troubles and pressing situations)"

Below the overflowing of the widows's olive oil is another financial miracles and supernatural debt cancellation found in the scriptures.

2 Kings 4:1-7

The Widow�s Olive Oil

4 The wife of a man from the company of the prophets cried out to Elisha, �Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that he revered the Lord. But now his creditor is coming to take my two boys as his slaves.�

2 Elisha replied to her, �How can I help you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?�

�Your servant has nothing there at all,� she said, �except a small jar of olive oil.�

3 Elisha said, �Go around and ask all your neighbors for empty jars. Don�t ask for just a few. 4 Then go inside and shut the door behind you and your sons. Pour oil into all the jars, and as each is filled, put it to one side.�

5 She left him and shut the door behind her and her sons. They brought the jars to her and she kept pouring. 6 When all the jars were full, she said to her son, �Bring me another one.�

But he replied, �There is not a jar left.� Then the oil stopped flowing.

7 She went and told the man of God, and he said, �Go, sell the oil and pay your debts. You and your sons can live on what is left.�

Love God and love the people around you.

The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength.

And the second is, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 

There is none other commandment greater than these.

Below we observe, a beautiful divine/human moment in which Jesus responds in a totally human way while expressing the amazing love and grace of God. Jesus demonstrate 'Empathy' which is brings out the his feeling of compassion towards the mother's grief for her only son. Empathy is when we allow ourselves for a moment to feel what that person might be feeling.

Luke 7:11-17

11 Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went along with him. 12 As he approached the town gate, a dead person was being carried out�the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her. 13 When the Lord saw her, his heart went out to her and he said, �Don�t cry.�

14 Then he went up and touched the bier they were carrying him on, and the bearers stood still. He said, �Young man, I say to you, get up!� 15 The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother.

16 They were all filled with awe and praised God. �A great prophet has appeared among us,� they said. �God has come to help his people.� 17 This news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and the surrounding country.
