Evening, 6.30

If you are able then join us for our first Sunday evening Zoom@TP meeting. The meeting number and PIN are the same as we use for our Tuesday evening prayer meeting. Please contact Martin if you need a reminder. If you can't join us, then do set aside time for private prayer and intercession.

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 previous weeks)

• Be thankful that God works all things together for good for those who love him and are called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28)
• Be thankful for the technology that is giving us the ability to keep in touch with family, friends and is so useful for the church
• Pray for both older people, who are particularly at risk, and for children, who though largely being spared the worst effects of the disease may be affected or vulnerable in other ways during the lockdown
• Pray that we might learn humility before God as we learn just how fragile we are individually and as a society, and that there will be a growing conviction that this world is not all there is
• Pray for the healing of the sick, the comfort of the bereaved and the relief of the needy
• Pray for those struggling with living in isolation; for patience and strength for all as we seek to adapt and cope to these circumstances
• Pray for wisdom for those charged with leading the nation, especially as they need to consider when and how the lockdown measures can be eased
