2 Chronicles 7:14
14 if my people, who are
called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn
from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their
sin and will heal their land.
Easter
Message
We pray for the churches
that will be focussing on the message of Easter.
We pray that the power of
the resurrected Christ will be reflected in the Church.
We pray that those who hear
the Easter message for the first time will be responsive to the unlimited,
unrestricted, and amazing love of God for them!
We pray that as Christians
around the City focus on the Cross, that they will unite around what we share,
the Love of God, rather than what divides us.
Lord we pray in Jesus’ name
that you forgive Your church for the things which we claim to do in Your name,
but do not reflect You to the world. We
pray that Your love that gave itself for us will be evident in our lives, and
Your church.
Influences
on Young People
We continue to pray for young people and the things
that influence them, friends, the media, magazines, internet sites, teachers,
churches, advertising.
Lord our young people have so much information overload
around them that it can be so difficult for them to make wise choices and stay
safe emotionally, physically and spiritually.
Lord we pray for strong positive role models in the
media, in their schools, in their social lives and in their families.
Lord we pray in Jesus’ name against the powers that are
working against young people from taking the right paths.
We pray particularly for Christian families and their
children that you will keep the Scripture that they have been taught in their
hearts and keep drawing them to yourself.
Lord, keep our children safe, in Jesus’ name we ask.
Families
We thank God for families. We thank God for the
blessings of children, siblings, parents, our wider families and our friends
that are as close as family.
We pray for those who are lonely or estranged from
their family.
We pray that the council and those who make decisions
support healthy family values in their policies and provision.
We pray for schools & nurseries as they support
families.
We think of those in our communities who struggle in
their family environment and particularly for those children who do not have a
happy home.
God grant peace, comfort, wisdom, reconciliation and
love in these situations.
