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.
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:
🙏 Hamas and other Muslim terrorist organisations are calling for the destruction of Israel, and the genocide of the Jews worldwide, in order for a phophetic figure called the Mardi to come, he is supposed to appear with Jesus. They are spreading misinformation, lies and HATRED worldwide, leading to a huge rise in Anti-semetic Hate crimes. Conversely the rate of Anti-muslim hate crimes is also growing. Hate is NEVER the right answer! Pray for all victims of hate crimes. Pray that good people will stand up and speak the truth, that all lives matter and have value, stand against the ignorance and lies of the real enemy behind this rise in hatred.
ISRAEL
🙏 According to reports from CBN the Battle at Shifa Hospital in Gaza is Over and according to captured Hamas leaders, the organisation of Hamas is collapsing from within. Meanwhile there has been a large protest in Israel, including families of Hostages still held by Hamas, calling for the resignation of Benjamin Netanyahu and new Leadership. IDF claim that in the Shifa Hospital operation, 6000 citizens were evacuated, 200 terrorists were killed and 500 arrested. Caches of weapons were confiscated, even a bunch of Kalashnikov rifles and grenades found in the maternity unit. This is close Urban Warfare which is extremely difficult fighting conditions but they are proudly claiming, no civilians were harmed during this operation. Pray that this is the truth and that God's will be done in Israel and Gaza.
NORTH KOREA
🙏 A Nuclear North Korea is threatening invasion of South Korea and war against the USA. North Korea would not do this without support from China and Moscow. This is not good! Please pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ in Asia, and for wisdom in this situation.
PALESTINIAN PEOPLE
🙏 It has been claimed that the IDF is deliberately starving the people of Gaza, stopping food aid from getting through. This has been denied by the IDF. Then the report came today on RNZ that 5 aid workers were killed during an Israeli airstrike on Gaza. The 5 were employee's of World Central Kitchen (WCK) non-governmental organisation - while the death of the 5 aid workers has been confirmed, the WCK also confirmed that in the last month it had served more than 42 million meals in Gaza over 175 days. So the claim the IDF is starving Gaza it seems is untrue. But please pray for the families and friends of the Aid workers who died. The IDF has stated it was conducting a thorough review at the highest levels to understand the circumstances of what it called a tragic incident. But also please pray for God's protection to be over Aid workers and humanitarian efforts to help the civilians of Gaza.
RUSSIA
🙏 Please pray for the victims of the ISIS attack at a concert in Russia, and their families and friends. More importanly still Putin is trying to claim the UK and Ukraine are responsible, when an Afganistan branch of ISIS has already claimed responsibily. Because this suits his political agenda. These are dangerous claims holding the threat of another possible Cold War. While thousands across Russia have protested against Putin's re-election. Please pray for the people of Russia.
UKRAINE
🙏 Please pray for the Ukraine in the ongoing war with Russia which continues.
USA
🙏 God is continuing to move among young people in the USA as thousands gathered and hundreds gave their lives to Christ and were immediately baptized at Alabama University.
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:
🙏 Eternal God, Fount of wisdom;
we are that you grant our government and all it's representatives,
the conviction of responsibilty to you for their decisions
give them imagination, skill and energy,
to bless this land with unity and peace,
rather than strife.
🙏 COVID-19
The Virus is still with us and people don't seem to understand that fact. Just because it is no longer being reported in the TV News doesn't mean the pandemic is over - there were 3399 New Cases reported in the past week and another 7 Covid deaths. There are 168 people in hospital with it. Christchurch being reported as having the highest number of cases this week. Our hospitals are feeling the pressure. Please pray for all medical staff.
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 Bridget who needs a miraclous healing for her elbow and wrist.
🙏 Please pray for a collegue who recently lost her mother.
🙏 Please pray for a Gra. Who has lost the tip of his fingers and has broken bones. Pray for a fast recovery and protection from infection.
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.
Lord we praise and thank you for:
🙏 All the Churches that have make available live streamed services providing comfort, guideance 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 burdon 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.
