Prayer List
Heavenly Father,
you have promised to hear when we pray
in the name of your son,
Therefore in confidence and trust,
We pray for the Church:
🙏 For persecuted Christians around the world.
🙏 We pray for our local clergy, (wherever in the world you happen to be). For the administration staff of our Church – who keep things running smoothly. For all the volunteers that help with all that needs to be done. For youth workers, Sunday school teachers and helpers in both the school and church situations. We pray especially for those reaching out and working in Pastoral Care.
🙏 We pray for all those working as Chaplain's today Lord, that you would bless and uphold them and walk with them as they help support and care for your flock.
Father enliven the Church for its mission
that we may be salt of the earth and light to the world
Breathe fresh life into your people
Give us power to reveal Christ in word and action.
We pray for the world:
ANTI-SEMITISM
🙏 Anti-Semitism is rife throughout the world right now. There is a simpler world for anti-Semitism - it is pure and simply Racism - please pray against racism throughout the world - Racism is a tool of Satan and we should not tolerate it in ourselves or in our Churches and communities! Pray against this tool of the enemy and his lies!
HUMAN TRAFFICKING
Pray for victims of human trafficking, who are children and adults. Pray that God protects those who want to come forward to bring trafficking rings to justice, and are in life threatening situations. Also, for law enforcement to have wisdom and the resources needed to bring those who sell and abuse humans to justice.
IRAN
🙏 Please pray for Christians in Iran. The internal unrest there right now on top of the sanctions imposed is making it more difficult for Iran to support it's proxies, like Hamas and Hezbollah and this ultimately will save lives. But is likely making things even more difficult for Christians in a place where being Christian can get you killed.
ISRAEL
🙏 Yemen in support of Hamas in Gaza have fired a Balistic Missile towards Israel - it was intercepted outside of Israeli airspace but some people were injured where it landed and it was Israeli emergency medical teams that came and supported the injured and transported those that required it to Israel Hospitals - please pray for the injured and the brave paramedics of Isreal, working 365 days a year - 7 days a week inside and outside of war areas to recuse the injured, hurt and sick. Many don't realize it but Israel Hospitals freely take in and treat Palestinians from Gaza.
🙏Hamas has just released video of yet another hostage - an American, from New Jersey, giving his family hope he is still alive. Please continue to pray for those Hostages that are still being held in Gaza.
LEBANON
🙏 The ceasefire that the USA brokered with Israel and Hezbollah has not lasted very long - Hezbollah violated the ceasefire over the weekend and Israel have swiftly retaliated with 4 very targeted air strikes. Please pray for the protection of ordinary citizens of Lebanon who are NOT members of Hezbollah and don't want this disruption to their lives.
🙏Pray also for the Lebanese National Army who under the ceasefire agreement are now going to have to step up and police the terrorists in their nation.
PALESTINIAN PEOPLE
🙏 Hamas refuse to realize that they have lost the war and are continuing to fire missiles into Israel when they can. Please pray that they would see the light, pray for the salvation of the Palestinian People.
SYRIA
🙏 A coalition of rebel groups led by HTS has in the last 2 days taken control of the Syrian city of Aleppo and are pushing south. The Assard Regime has lost control of those vital areas. The Assard Regime is Shia Muslim and supported by Iran and Russia, it suits them to have the Assard Regime in power, if the rebals win they will be cutting of Hezbollah's weapon supply route from Iran - but his could also greatly destablize the region even more. Now Russia in spite of being short of being spread thin with the Ukraine War, is sending in support troops and taking an active role in fighting the rebals in Syria. Please pray that God's will be done in this situation, and for protection for the 30,000 Christians in Aleppo.
UKRAINE
🙏 The Ukraine has fought back in the face of Russia's greater manpower and deeper resources but things are looking bad for them currently. Ukraine is under fierce pressure on the front lines, where its army chief has warned his forces are facing “one of the most powerful Russian offensives” since the start of the war. They have been facing nightly drone attacks by Iranian made and supplied drones, since September. Please pray for the Ukraine.
Creator of all,
lead us and every people into ways of justice and peace,
That we may respect one another in freedom and truth.
Awaken in us a sense of wonder for the earth
and all that is in it
Teach us to care creatively for its resources.
We pray for our Country:
🙏 Pray for our Government and leaders.
COVID-19
🙏 Covid is still with us. This week there were 1675 new cases and 1101 re-infections we need to keep praying Psalm 91 for our country.
Give grace to all whose lives are linked with ours.
May we serve Christ in one another, and love as he loves us.
We pray for those in need:
🙏 Please pray for AJ whose kidney function is down to 11%.
🙏 Please pray for Steph who has recently suffered a prolapsed disc in her back. Pray for her for Salvation and healing.
🙏 Please pray for Bruce who successfully had an aneurysm removed but still needs prayer for pain management and recovery.
🙏 Please pray for Jan, who is recovering from a recent Hospital stay, but returned home to find her neighbours have deliberately poisoned her garden.
🙏 Please pray for all those who have lost loved ones this week, may the Comforter wrap loving arms around them.
God of hope comfort and restore
all who suffer in body, mind or spirit
May they know the power of your healing love.
Make us willing agents of your compassion.
Strengthen us as we share in making people whole.
Thanksgiving
Lord we praise and thank you for:
🙏 All the Churches that have make available live streamed services providing comfort, guidance and the opportunity for shut-ins, the bedridden, and those in lockdown to still worship and be a part of the global family of Christ.
🙏 God’s creation that is still going on around us.
🙏 God loves us so much during this difficult time, and he shares our pain, fear and grief. His shoulders are large enough to embrace the world - it is natural to worry, but it is also a burden we need not bear, give the worries to Him.
🙏 Give thanks for our worldwide family of God, loved by God and by each other.
🙏 Our families, friends and loved ones and our church families.
