1. Whenever two of you agree
   on earth about anything you pray for,
   it will be done for you by my
   Father who is in Heaven.
   For where two or three have gathered
   together in My name,
   I am there in their midst.
   (Matthew 18:19-20)
   
    
2. When you pray and ask for something,
    believe that you have received it,
   and you will be given whatever you ask for.
   (Mark 11:24)
   
    
3. And when you stand and pray, forgive
   anything you may have against anyone,
   so that your Father in Heaven will forgive
   the wrongs you have done.
   (Mark 11:25)
   
    
4. Ask, and it shall be given to you;
   seek, and you shall find;
   knock, and it shall be opened to you.
   For everyone who asks receives,
   and anyone who seeks finds,
   and the door will be opened
   to those who knocks.
   (Matthew 7:7-8)
   
    
5. And I will do whatever you ask for
   in my name, so that the Father's glory
   will be shown through the Son.
   If you ask me for anything in my name,
   I will do it.
   (John 14:13-14)
   
    
6. If you remain in me and
   my words remain in you,
   then you will ask for anything you wish,
   and you shall have it.
   (John 15:7)
   
    
7. When you pray,
   you are not to be as the hypocrites;
   for they love to stand and pray in the
   synagogues and on the street corners,
   so that everyone will see them.
   Truly I say to you,
   they have their reward in full.
   But you, when you pray, go to your room,
   close the door, and pray to your Father
   who is unseen, and your Father who sees
   what you do in private will reward you.
   (Matthew 6:5, 6)
   
    
8. When you are praying,
   do not use meaningless repetitions,
   as the pagans do,
   who think their Gods will hear them
   because their prayers are too long.
   Therefore do not be like them;
   for your Father already knows what you need,
   before you ask Him.
   (Matthew 6:7, 8)
   
    
9. Don't worry about anything, but in all
   your prayers ask God for what you need,
   always asking him with a thankful heart.
   (Philippians 4:6)
   
    
10. Rejoice always; pray at all times;
    be thankful in all circumstances;
    This is what God wants from you
    in your life in union with Christ Jesus.
    (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)
    
     
11. Are any among you in trouble?
    They should pray.
    Are any among you happy?
    They should sing praises.
    Are any among you sick?
    They should send for the Church elders,
     who will pray for them and will rub olive oil
    on them in the name of the Lord.
    This prayer made in faith will heal the sick;
    the Lord will restore them to health, and
    the sins they have committed will be forgiven.
    So then, confess your sins to one another
    and pray for one another,
    so that you will be healed.
    (James 5:13-16)
    
     
12. "Keep watch and pray that
    you will not fall into temptation.
    The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."
    (Mathew 26:41)
    
     
13. I urge that petitions, prayers, requests, and
    thanksgivings, be offered to God for all people;
    for Kings and all others who are in authority,
    that we may live a quiet and peaceful life
     with all reverence towards God
    and with proper conduct.
    (1 Timothy 2:1-2)
    
     
14. "God is Spirit, and only by the power
    of his Spirit can people worship him
    as he really is."
    (John 4:24)
     

Prayer in Times of Emergency

O' St.Jude, friend and relative of Jesus, Our Lord and Saviour, trusted patron of the devotees, powerful ; protector of the suffering, glorious martyr adorned with rare virtues and miraculous power, gentle apostle, relying on your extraordinary power of coming to the help of the helpless, I turn to you with confidence ( Here mention your need ).

I promise that I will honor you as my special patron and powerful protector throughout my life and that I will do everything possible within my ability to spread your devotion among others. I sadly realize the fact that because of the resemblance of your holy name with that of the Traitor, Judas Iscariot, you are not properly loved and venerated by many. But still thousands around the world accept you as their powerful helper in their most desperate needs and hopeless cases.

O St.Jude,grant me peace and solace; hasten to help me in my dire needs; and above all procure for me the grace of final perseverence with which I may join you and with multitude of the elected to sing the praises of God for all eternity.

Prayer for Impossible things

O St.Jude, close relative of the Holy Family, beloved son of the Holy Trinity, prompt succour of the devotees, unfailing supporter of the desperate, I turn to you for help with confidence. Make haste to help me. Remember, O powerful Apostle, that God has adorned you with the rare gift of coming to the help of the most abandoned and the desperate cases. Turn your eyes of pity and love towards me. My life has become a continous way of the cross, my days have become sorrowful, my heart has become a deep ocean of tears and all the paths of life, I see full of thorns. There is hardly every moment in my life which does not give me pain and agony. I have reached the verge of utter despair,my heart is numb within me. Fear and anxiety have filled my heart. I now approach you in deep agony and I will not leave you until you come downto help me.

O! Powerful Apostle! hasten to come to my aid. Help me to proclaim your goodness and power and to sing your praises. I promise that all the days of my life here on earth, I will ever sing your wondrous deep until I join you to sing unceasingly the infinite mercy of God in Heaven.

Amen.
