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 our Brothers and Sisters in Christ within the Roman Catholic Church, as they mourn the loss of Pope Francis and gear up for the choosing of a new Pope.
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 word 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!
CHINA
🙏 Civil War appears to have broken out in China. For many reasons the Chinese people are currently NOT happy with the Communist Party and are protesting in the streets and calling for Democracy and the end of the leader of the Communist Party. Economically China is in a deep recession and most are without hope. Please pray for the underground church, and also for those 3 brave souls who have mounted protest banners on bridges calling for democracy, voiceing was most believe but have been too scared to say! They have beed disappeared, please pray for their safety.
IRAN
🙏 Please pray for Christians in Iran. The majority of Iranians want an end to the Islamic Regime there. They are not happy with what their government has done and most of them are wanting Israel to help take down their government. Some are prepared to give their lives to take it down. This has also led to more and more turning to Christianity.
ISRAEL
🙏 God does not and will not forget his first people! He loves the Jews, there is not a family in Israel that has not been touched by the terrorism of Hamas and Hezbollah. But especially the families of those hostages still being held in Gaza. Please pray for the hostages and their families and for Jerusalem.
NIGERIA
🙏 Concerning reports on CBN of a Genocide of Christians in Nigeria. There are reports of barbaric brutality, kidnapping and rape of children, and mass graves. Please pray for the safety of Christians in Nigeria. There are 14 million Christians in Northern Nigeria but Islamists are murdering and pushing more off their indigionous land every day. Yet these ongoing small massacres have NOT been reported by the world's Media. The government is continually trying to hush it up, saying that it is isolated bandits killing only a few people. But it is ongoing 20-30 at a time every day. Nigerian Christians are feeling abadoned by the west. Please pray!
NORTH KOREA
🙏 North Korea remains at the top of the World Watch List aa the worst, most dangerous country in which to be a Christian. Being discovered to be a Christian in North Korea can mean a death sentence. Please pray for the people of North Korea, especially Christians remaining there.
PALESTINIAN PEOPLE
🙏 Jesus love the Palestinian children just as much as the Jewish and Christian ones. Sadly they they have been taught racism, hate and fear, while their government continues to betray them. Please pray for their protection and salvation. Also pray for Palestinian Christians caught in the war zone.
SYRIA
🙏 Saudi Arabia is assisting the new Syrian Government. News is that ISIS has attacked security forces of the new Syrian Government, calling them “the apostate Syrian regime”. I actully find this optimistic as it may mean the new government is indeed better than expected. The attacks occured near the small USA military outpost in Syria and it appears they lent some assistance against the ISIS forces. Please pray for the new government of Syria, for the Syrian Christians and for the US forces, based at the small outpost.
UK
🙏 Please pray for the people of the UK, as many are beginning to realize that their country has become spiritually bankrupt, pray for revival and redemption.
UKRAINE
🙏 The fact that the Ukraine has held its own (sometimes barely) against Russia for 4 years is a miracle! War is never good but neither is giving into tyranny and Putin is a tyrant; his rule has been characterized by the suppression of political opponents, restrictions on freedom of the press, and a strong personality cult.. marking him as dictator! Please continue to uphold the Ukraine in prayer.
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:
🙏 POLICE - Please pray for our police, especially those in Levin and Horowhenua, injured during the recent incident with the boy racers.
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 H who is experiancing strange brain problems. Being assessed for TIA, , not allowed to drive, unable to work. Please pray for H's daughter having to travel to give support and then deal with the situation. Please pray for wisdom for the medical team and God's calm and peace.
🙏 Please pray for Dawn, who is recovering from surgery and has clots in her lungs.
🙏 Please pray for 2 people who have cancer. Steph who has terminal cancer and has been told it is spreading. Pray that she will know God's presence and peace. Pray for her siblings and her sons, Dion and Nathan. Also for a parishionersanother sister who has been diagnosed with cancer and her family. Jesus healed me, taking a tumour from my ovaries beating the surgeon to it, so I know if he chooses he can heal what man cannot. Please pray for a miracle, pray for their healing.
🙏 Please pray for Brenda as she prepares for a stem-cell transplant in Auckland. Pray for God's peace and care for her and the family, for freedom from infection and viruses in the next 4 months and that her body accepts the new stem cells.
🙏 Thanksgiving - John who we prayed for reports that he is well on the road to recovery, and thanks all for their prayers for him.
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:
🙏 Please pray a blessing for all those on prayer chains - the many who faithfully pray and intercede for others. There is a lot of hurt, pain and evil in the world, sometimes it can feel overwheming and sometimes a tangible sense of the sadness God feels about it can also be felt. Help us remember Jesus is big enough to love all of us. But today especially pray for those who upon receiving a text, pause whatever they are doing and for a few moments, reconnect with God to bring the plight of someone who needs prayer to his attention. Thank God for the love and compassion they have towards others.
🙏 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.
