For Your Prayers this week
For Your Prayers
How do you respond to authority? This is what we’ll be considering during Holy Week. Please pray that God will lead us through our Easter activities, and everything we do will glorify God.
Monday:
• Please read through the different passages and themes we’ll be learning from during Easter, asking the Holy Spirit to show you how you respond to authority.
• Ask God to show you what has shaped your response to authority and pray for Him to heal any unhelpful experiences of authority, which shapes your attitudes and responses.
• Ask God to deepen your submission to His authority, in every area of your life.
• Please pray that believers in the Middle East will know how to submit to God’s authority so they can be salt and light to family and friends.
• Please thank God for bringing healing to Margaret Hickling. Please pray that the ongoing treatment that she’s having will successfully restore her to full health so she can return home soon.
Tuesday:
• Please pray that God will move in the heart of those who have received Easter invitations to attend church and come to faith in Christ.
• Please pray for God’s wisdom and leading to share the gospel with family & friends and invite them to our Easter services.
• Please thank the Lord that Margaret May is home and recovering.
Wednesday:
• Proverbs 21: 1, “The king’s heart is like a stream of water directed by the Lord; he guides it wherever he pleases.” Please pray God will direct the heart of leaders in the Middle East, US, UK and Europe to speak truth and do justice that there may be true peace.
• Please pray that Michael Wren’s cancer treatment clears his lymphoma, and please pray that Ps. Alan cancer treatment and the treatment to improve Ps. Alan’s white blood cell count will be effective.

Saturday: Please pray that God will open doors for everyone seeking employment, housing, and that He will meet people’s other visible and invisible needs. Please ask the Lord how you can help to meet these needs. Please pray that God will be glorified through our Easter
Sunday services, with believers built up in faith and unbelievers accepting Christ as Saviour & Lord.
Sunday: Please pray for yourself and everyone who gathers at TRBC this Easter Sunday, to worship the Lord in spirit and in truth. Please pray that each of us will hear and respond to His specific word to us. Please pray that through these gatherings, our love
