As a community of churches, these are our current prayer points:
Pray for SA
Thank you, Father God, that we can intercede for our country, South Africa. Thank you for the plans You have for our nation. We pray that we will be the salt and the light in our country. We pray for peace in our land, for justice and righteousness to overcome every threat of corruption and injustice. We trust in You for the growth of our economy and for an increase in employment opportunities for our people. We pray for Holy-Spirit-filled leaders to be in positions of authority, to see Your Kingdom come and Your will be done in our country, in Jesus’ name.
Amen.
Pray for families
Father God, thank you for the gift of family. Lord, may we be a beacon of hope. We trust You to work in us to reflect Your grace and mercy to those around us. In every difficulty we may experience as a family, we speak Jesus! Fill our home with Your love, peace, and presence as we welcome others into our family to experience You. Make us sensitive and give us a heart of compassion for our friends and their families, in Jesus’ name.
Amen.
Pray for women & children
Father God, we bring the issues surrounding women and children to You concerning all these areas:
-
Poverty
-
Unemployment
-
Healing of HIV and cancers
-
Gender-based violence/discrimination
-
Domestic violence
-
Trafficking of women and children
-
Addictions
We ask, Lord, that You intervene miraculously for women facing these problems. You are the Way, the Truth, and the Life, Jesus! Come and make a way where there seems to be no way out. We seek Your face and Your wisdom in Jesus’ name.
Amen
Pray for education
Father God, we pray for our education systems. We pray for our schools, pre-primary to tertiary education. We pray for truth to prevail in every sphere of education. We trust that government funding will reach our children’s education fairly and justly. We pray for skilled educators and good management of our learning centres.
Thank You, Lord, that we can call on You to give our learners wisdom, creativity, ingenuity, and critical thinking minds to excel and fulfill their callings, in Jesus’ name.
Amen.
