Stigma of Faith


Sadly in today's society there is a lot of stigma targeted at those who have faith.  Some who have spoken their faith in the workplace, or refused to work against their conscience have been unfairly treated in the workplace. Spend some time to show them some support.

"Father, please allow for those that speak your word and act according to your will, to not be discouraged by unbelievers and those that do not have faith.  May you give them the strength to persevere. Please give them the willpower to be wise in their decisions and guide them onto the right path. Amen."

Self Harm



Last year 26,270 females and 11,656 males aged under 25 were admitted to hospitals in England due to self-harm.  Self-harm is a growing problem within our society, spare a thought for these lost individuals.

"Loving Savior, please see that those who are self-harming, the young and the lost, seek help lord.  Let their underlying causes be revealed lord, so that they can get the help they need to press on with their lives and prevent all of their outward and internal agony. Amen."

Mental Health and Stigma


Mental Health issues are often targeted with harsh stigma and a lot of misunderstanding.  So many people suffer in society as a part of this and live partially or completely in the shadows.  Spare a thought for these individuals and help banish such negativity within society.

"Loving Savior, we pray that the stigma which surrounds mental illness will diminish, so that it is better understood, and sufferers will I find it easier to admit their need and to accept help from family, friends, employers, GPs and other people in their lives. Amen." - Care
