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? The following is adapted from a call to prayer issued by churches in Australia. Pray...
  • That God would grant wisdom and energy to all leaders in government, caring professions, emergency services, and in every sector of the economy as they seek to guide the nation through these difficult times. Pray that their guidance and the nation’s response would lead to this crisis ending and its damaging effects being limited.
  • That medical advice would be accurate and wise and that the public will respond with a calm measured response and not the panic that we have seen in recent weeks.
  • That as a nation we emerge from this season stronger and wiser than we enter it, with a greater consciousness of our need for God in the everyday affairs of our nation.
