God our Father,
I ask You to bless my friends reading this right now.
I am asking You to minister to their spirit at this very moment.
Where there is pain, give them Your peace and mercy.
Where there is self doubting, release a renewed confidence in Your ability to work through them.
Where there is tiredness, or exhaustion, I ask You to give them understanding, patience, and strength as they learn submission to your leading.
Where there is spiritual stagnation, I ask You to renew them by revealing Your nearness, and by drawing them into greater intimacy with You.
Where there is fear, reveal Your love, and release to them Your courage.
Where there is a sin blocking them, reveal it, and break its hold over my friend's life.
Bless their finances, give them greater vision.
Raise up leaders and friends to support and encourage them.
Give each of them discernment to recognize the evil forces around them and reveal to them the power they have in You to defeat it.

That is a beautiful prayer - thank you.
When I first read it, it reminded me of prayer of St. Francis.
