What Do You Pray For Most Often?

I pray for the Holy Souls in Purgatory, as well as for people who have no one to pray for them.
 
At different points in my life, I have prayed for different intentions.
That said, for voting purposes here
I’ve chosen to go with the one intention which
has remained consistent over the longest number of years.
(souls in purgatory)

I pray for many people I know -neighbors, family, friends, their marriages. Getting to know them better over time, I can see their various issues-health, financial, marital etc. People truly appreciate it letting them know I keep them in my prayers.
 
Lately I’ve been praying the most for: the conversion of my mom and husband, the reversion of my dad, to conceive a baby, and for all the unborn.
 
i pray for my husband and mother (neither are religious) and that i will be able to join in full communion with the Holy Catholic Church before i die.
 
I pray every day that the Holy Spirit will continue to fill me and increase within me. I always have room! Also that my wife and children will allow the Holy Spirit to increase within them.

That is what I always include each time I pray. I don’t think we can ever have enough of the Holy Spirit!

Thank you for asking!

God Bless,

laity.Souls in Purgatory,conversion of sinners,peace among nations,end to abortion.our youth,our country…whew;)
 
I find that I most often pray for the specific intentions of those hurt, afraid, frightened; in hunger, poverty, or sickness - I also pray for the Holy Souls in Purgatory (as well as offering up my sufferings for them) and for family members, such as my mother. I also pray for those whom I say I will pray for, such as on here in the Prayer Intentions subforum. I also pray for myself, such as for help and forgiveness.

I believe I will start praying for the intentions of the Pope, as well as priests, nuns, and all religious.
 
Hard to select just ONE. There is so much to pray for. And we all, I hope, pray for many things constantly all our lives.

But to present THE ONE THING I pray for most often:

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, grant me the Wisdom and strength to know and to do Your Will. Not my will, but Your Will be done.
 
I pray for the souls of all those who will die that day or night that they will all be granted the grace of final repentance - for the Holy Father and all cardinals, bishops, priests and religious - for all those who have asked my prayers - all those for whom I have been and continue to be a source of scandal or an occasion of sin.
 
I pray for the world, which sounds like a cop out, but it is done methodically. I begin, “In the name of the Father …I pray – poorly”, (because I am not well disciplined.) and then the Lord’s prayer, and/or the following, depending on how He directs me: an open conversation with My Friend, with Whom I can have a symbolic cup of coffee, or methodically going right down the line, beginning with my Dad, our families, our friends, our enemies, and all who need help of any kind, with some specifics, like, but not limited to, the homeless, the poor, the hungry, the troubled; for souls that have been, are, and will be; I pray that we might All seek God’s love through Jesus; I reiterate asking that He forgive my sins for they are many; including my less than perfect attitude towards the people who are so heartlessly and unnecessarily leaving me homeless, for which I ask for patience and mercy and to watch my mouth and not return any unkindnesses. I single them out that they may be forgiven. I ask that since I am not well disciplined, that He will hear all omissions that are later thought of, to be heard as prayers. I pray for those who have asked me to pray for them. I end with a thank you to My Father above me, His Son, who walks aside me, sometimes in front of me, leading with His Hand, sometimes carrying me, and the Holy Spirit Who lives within me. I give thanks to Mary, who said yes, Joseph who said yes. Thanks to a priest close to my heart, I was gently reminded that I can indeed say hello to those who have passed; and so I say hello to my mother and my child, and pray that they are somehow together. “In the name of the Father, and of The Son, and of the Holy Spirit, I hope – and pray. Amen. Oh! And…”.

Sometimes, I just say thank You.
Sometimes I just fall asleep. I am exhausted for having all hopes of a normal life on this side of the fence exhausted. I can’t think of a better way to rest but to rest in His Name…

Perhap I should pray not to be verbose.
 
“Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.” Prayer that I pray most during the day, asking for God’s forgiveness.
 
My family, vocations to the priesthood and religious life, all priests but particularly two who are very dear to me, the intentions of CAF members, and persecuted Christians worldwide.

I really should pray more often to be a better wife… :sad_yes:
