Prayer for This Week
Heavenly Father - Please hear our prayers as we come to You and offer our support for the people of Haiti. The problems there seem almost impossible to solve but we trust You to encourage those who are working there among the local people. A great deal of food, water and tents have arrived from all over the world - we pray that these supplies are delivered to those in greatest need as quickly as possible. We still read of people who are yet to receive medical help and tents - please encourage those on the island to ensure everyone is helped urgently.
Thank you Lord for the unbelievable donation of cash which has been given in reply to the national appeals - may this money be put to good use.
We ask that our prayers might be answered. In Jesus' name.
Amen
A prayer in support of persecuted Christians in many parts of the world:
Dear and loving Lord - We bring before you the plight of hundreds of our brothers and sisters who suffer just for being Christians. When we read actual accounts of what is happening to a particular family, we realise how costly being a follower of Jesus Christ is in many parts of the world. We read of beatings, rape, loss of home, stealing the children to become soldiers and even murder. Holy Father, these are Your tender and loving children that so bravely refuse to deny their faith - ensure that they know they are remembered by many throughout the world and that they are not forgotten. We pray for an end to the violence and a better future for all persecuted Christians
In Jesus' name we pray.
Amen
