Prayer Requests

Sunday Prayer

Submitted by Helen Smith on 26 February, 2021

All-knowing God,

We gather together with praise and thanksgiving

for who You are,

and for all that You have done for us.

You know us better than we know ourselves—

all our thoughts and actions—

and yet You love us.

No matter where we go or what we do,

Your love encircles us—ahead and behind—

gently leading and guiding and blessing.

We praise You for Your love

and Your faithful presence in our lives.

May Your Spirit move in our hearts and minds as we worship together:

examine our attitudes and actions,

lay bare the things we need to confess,

challenge us with Your Word,

and guide us on to paths that lead to life.

For we are Your people, called by Your name.

Amen.

Prayer for Tiny Town

Submitted by Alison Anderson on 9 November, 2020

The last time the Tiny Town Committee asked for prayer for numbers and enrollments, we really noticed a lift in our numbers. We acknowledge and thank you for your prayers and Praise God who is so faithful in answering our prayers. 

 Once again, we would value prayer for our enrollments of 3 to 5 year old's for 2021 and thank you for committing our Center to your prayer time.

Year 12

Submitted by Anon on 27 October, 2020

The exams commence today for our Year 12 students.  

Father in your grace and kindness, thank you for providing all that our young people need to get through this end of year exam time. We ask that you would fill them with God-fidence they are loved, no matter what. By you, their families and their church family. Please help them know they are not on their own, but Jesus is with them through the Spirit.  

May they have quiet hearts, calm minds, clarity in understanding questions, good recall of responses an an ordered approach to providing answers, as well as the assurance that they have done and will do their best, and can rest peacefully in that knowledge, even as all their senses are heightened to achieve.

And Father, please bless their families as they release their young ones to face these challenges, knowing also, they have done their level best to raise them well and prepare them for such a time as this.

Amen

Guidance and healing

Submitted by Helen Smith on 15 May, 2020

I pray for continued guidance for those in power as restrictions begin to be lifted. Pray for us all to keep safety in mind as restrictions are lifted and that we don't let fear control us but let us be guided by God and love as we start to look at what new normal looks like through the different stages of restrictions.

Dear Lord

May your grace and protection be upon those who are working on the front lines at the moment. Protect them and give them a sense that you are going before them. Please provide them with the equipment that they need in order to be protected and let them know that they are loved and valued. Amen

Lord, I pray that you will continue to be with those who are isolated. I pray that they will know and feel your presence, and they will be comforted by you.

Bush Fires and Droughts

Submitted by Anon on 23 December, 2019

Please pray for the bush fire victims and the fire fighters. Please pray that we have life giving rain but that it comes in a safe way so that we don't flood.

For Tiny Town and their new Director. For rest as they prepare for a new year and new beginnings.

For families doing it tough this Christmas especially those affected by fire and drought.

Brigade members going on National camps over the school holidays.

For our new minister and his family. That when he starts in February God's will, will be done.

Amen
