Prayer Points 15 November
Prayer Points for The Coming Week:
Sunday 15th November – Ask God to help all those who have a part to play in leading worship today whether up front or behind the scenes that everyone who comes through the doors of our churches or joins online may have an encounter with Jesus Christ.
Monday 16th – The Prisoners Week prayer: Lord, you offer freedom to all people. We pray for those who are held in prison. Break the bonds of fear and isolation that exist. Support with your love: prisoners, their families and friends, prison staff, chaplains and all who care. Heal those who have been wounded by the activities of others, especially the victims of crime. Help us to forgive one another, to act justly, love mercy and walk humbly together with Christ. In His strength and in His Spirit. Now and every day. Amen.
Tuesday 17th – Pray for the congregations of Perth: North and Perth: St Leonard's-in-the-Fields as they unite, and remember the minister, Rev Kenneth Stott, as he takes on additional responsibilities, and the elders as they shape new ways of working.
Wednesday 18th – Hold before God those in our world who are suffering today for whatever reason and ask for the change that is required to enable them to enjoy fulness of life in Christ at this time.
Thursday 19th – Think of those in our congregation and community who are housebound and ask God how you might bring encouragement to one such person – a neighbour, friend or family member.
Friday 20th – Pray for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon our church and parish that we may all be filled anew and in walking more closely with God live out our faith in service of all around us.
Saturday 21st – You raised up your Son, O God, and seated him at your right hand as the shepherd and king who seeks what is lost, binds up what is wounded, and strengthens what is weak. Empowered by the Spirit, grant that we may share with others that which we have received from your hand, to the honour of Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen
