For Your Prayers this week

For Your Prayers

As we once again read through the Bible in a year, we’ll begin by learning how to “Make the Most of God’s Word.” Please thank the Lord for those things you’ve learnt in the past year, which has most helped your walk with God. Share it with someone as testimony to God, ask them to share their testimony with you and pray together giving thanks and praise to God.

Monday

• Please pray for yourself and us as a fellowship to read and live by God’s word.

• Please ask the Lord to tell you what from His word He’s asked you to do, which you’re yet to obey. Then please act quickly to do His will.

• “May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.” (2 Thessalonians 2: 16-17) Since God desires to encourage you, ask God to do so in accordance with these verses.

• Please ask the Holy Spirit to show you what aspects of Christlikeness you find hardest and pray for Him to work in you to accomplish His will.

• Please read Romans 12: 1-2 and ask God to help you accomplish this in your life.

Tuesday

• On 25th January we’ll have our Church Covenant service. Pray for God to show you how He wants you to be involved in church life.

• Please read Philemon 1: 6. Our faith grows as we share Christ. Please ask God to fill you with the Holy Spirit to share Christ everywhere. Please prayerfully make time to join church outreach efforts.

• Please pray that we’ll prayerfully depend on God for every aspect of our church life, so that they’re done per His will and for His glory.

Wednesday

• As we enter the New Year, please pray for God to bring His peace to the many war-torn regions of the world. Please pray that God will send appropriate help to places recovering from natural disasters.

Thursday

• This first week of the New Year please pray for yourself & family and the TRBC family, to prayerfully seek God’s good, pleasing and perfect will, and commit to obeying it for God’s glory.

Friday

• Please pray for our government to serve with wisdom so we can “live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness”, so enabling us to share the gospel (1 Timothy 2: 2).

• Please pray that our government will serve everyone, with particular regard for the poor and vulnerable

Saturday

Please pray for Ps. Alan to be healed of some minor issues following his second cataract surgery and thank the Lord that his cancer treatment is effective. Please pray that the Lord will bring complete healing to Alan Kelloway and that tests Michael Wren is having will be clear. Please pray that Margaret May will be fully healed of severe back pain and related health issues. Please pray that the Lord will heal Neville, Vee’s husband whose health is failing; Vee is Hyacinth’s friend, who helps at English class. Please pray for the Lord to bring healing from cancer for Ashley, Sansha’s brother and for Garvey her brother awaiting knee-replacement. Please pray that both would know the Lord’s presence and strength and come to know Him as their Saviour and Lord. Please pray for the Lord to meet all physical, financial, spiritual, and other needs in the fellowship.

Sunday:

Please pray for yourself and everyone who gathers at TRBC, 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.
