Evening, 6.30

We unite this evening with Christians all over the world in prayer to our Lord who is sovereign over all the events of life. Let us cry out to Him for mercy and for grace, that this plague may end, that the needs of people will be met and, above all, for people young and old to turn to the Lord Jesus Christ in repentance and faith. Pray that we Christians may give a good testimony of trust in the Lord and that we may see a great revival in the church.
 
How can we pray particularly in regard to the pandemic? (Here are some further thoughts to add to the list from last week)
  • Praise the Lord who is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in love
  • Praise Him for being willing to hear our prayers, to answer and to do far more than we can ask or imagine, even bringing great good out of evil
  • Be thankful that the Lord knows every detail about our lives and circumstances and that, as Lord of all nations and peoples, He is working out His purposes
  • As we pray for those labouring hard to care for the sick, for those providing all that is needed for life to go on for us all and for those governing and leading the nation and all its essential institutions, businesses, services, utilities, let us be thankful that the Lord ultimately is the one providing and caring
