Prayer Points for November
Daily Prayer
Enable our church to do your will
Make it vulnerable that it may speak with calm humility;
Make it outward looking that it may care deeply
Make it a community of peacemakers and bridge builders
In the midst of turbulence let the church make space for the hearing of your
still small voice.
Give thanks for:
Ø
the people we meet and the opportunities to be God’s witnesses in
our world
Ø
those who challenge how we think
Ø
those who accept us as we are
Ø
those who forgive us
Ø
those who lead and those who listen
Ø
those who clean and scrub
Ø
those who type and copy
Ø
those who handle figures and finance
Ø
those who provide care and support
Ø
those who cut grass and repair fabric
Ø
those who welcome visitors
Ø
those who are quietly available when they are needed
Ø
those who worship and pray
Ø
those who sing and make music
Ø
those who use their gifts to arrange flowers
Ø
those who give their time freely to lead organisations and groups
Please pray for:
Ø
the re-opening of the Orchard and pray that it will be used to
build relationships and further fellowship
Ø
the South Africa mission team as they work to raise funds
Ø
Global Poverty Week 12-18 November: There are than 12 million
children under 18 orphaned by AIDS living in sub-Saharan Africa. Not only do
they lose their parents, they may lose their homes, their education and even
their childhood. Many of them have to resort to street-working and begging.
Ø
in Zimbabwe, those who speak out against the regime are in fear
for their lives. In poor countries unjust trade rules result in wages below the
poverty line. Pray that Christians worldwide will work to bring an end to
poverty and injustice.
Ø
those burdened by regrets and anxieties, those broken in spirit or
in body, those torn by relationships and doubt, those who feel deeply the
divisions and injustices of our world.
Ø
those who are lonely; that they may know the love and friendship
of others
