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.

AUSTRALIA

🙏 Queensland is dealing with the effects of ex-Tropical Cyclone Kirrily and it hasn't finished with them yet. The North-west regions are already battling floods. While other parts of Australia (NSW, South Australia and Victoria) are sweltering in 40C heat. Doctors are putting out warnings to watch out for heat-related illness. So pray for Australia.

ISRAEL

🙏 Please pray for the peace of Jerusalem and for Israel. The United Nations Satellite Centre has declared that only 30% of Gaza city has been destroyed by Israeli bombing. The numbers of Palestinian casualties reported in the media so far do not come from an independent source and can't be trusted. At the end I believe not as many will have died as has been reported. Pease pray for the IDF as they have requested - they are doing a difficult job in very difficult circumstances. If Israel pulls out now thousands of Jews could die in another massacre like Oct 7. If Hamas surrenders and returns the hostages there is PEACE!

PALESTINIAN PEOPLE

🙏 Please pray for the Ordinary Palestinian civialians, that those in danger zones can safely evacuate, that the hate they have been taught can be reversed. That God would protect the innocent as much as He can, some are as much victims of Hamas as the Israeli hostages. Pray for all those in the hospitals and being used as human shields and for the comfort for the loved ones and families of those lost. Pray that a real solution that works is found for the Palestinian people, a Palestian Christian in Gaza, putting his life at risk, has spoken out on Youtube saying that they have had a 2 state solution and it DOESN'T WORK! He wants Israel in charge of Gaza, he said the lives of the regular civilians were better when Israel was in charge, BUT they need to make the Palestinians equal citizens in Israel - rather than 2nd class citizens. Please pray for Hamas to end this war, to return the hostages and surrender!

UKRAINE

🙏 Please pray for the Ukraine in the ongoing war with Russia which has been continuing now for 710 days.

USA

🙏 Iran backed militia groups in Syria and Iraq have committed a drone attack on a small USA military base in Jordan, 3 people were killed and 47 injured. Please pray for the families of the service men and women killed and for the injured. The USA has retaliated strongly with airstrikes against the militia groups responsible. President Biden claims they are not looking to go to war against Iran directly, but I suggest we pray, because this could very quickly escalate.

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.

🙏 As Maori and protestors head to Waitangi to face off in talks with Government officials, there seems to be a widening racial division in New Zealand. As a pakeha New Zealander I value the voice of Maori in this country, more often than not the issues that they raise with the Government are issues that impacts every New Zealander and they are often the singing canary in the coal mine. Speaking what all of us are thinking. The changes they bring about often benefit us all. Please pray for a non-violent airing of issues and for God's will to be done at Waitangi on the 6th Feburary.

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 Barbara for a quick recovery, and that she will be encouraged by the love of God.

🙏 Please pray for a parishioner who in his 70's has suddenly developed epilepsy. Pray they quickly find the right medicaton for him.

🙏 Please pray for Bryce who is currently in hospital.

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.

Truly may thy will be done in these pages.
Amen.
