Lord Jesus,

We come to you today in gratitude for the people in our lives.

We pray that in our communities and circles of friends, we would be people who bear one another’s burdens and love at all times.

We pray that we would encourage one another and build each other up while serving one another.

May we daily come to you in prayer, Lord, giving you thanks for all the relationships in our lives and asking that you be present and at work in each of us. Strengthen the bonds we have with one another.

Open our eyes to new friendships we can be making, and new people we can connect with.

Help us to forgive freely, let go of grudges, love humbly, and serve others with a willing spirit.

May all of our relationships give glory back to you, Lord!

Amen.

Sunday, ( May 15) – Pray that the Lord will minister His Word and His love to our congregation through Pr. Dr. Philip Lyn. Pray that we would be able to experience and hear God speak to us clearly. Pray for our hearts to be open to God’s Word and pray that we will truly respond to His Word accordingly. Pray that our church will truly come to know and understand God’s deep love towards each one of us. Pray that in all that we do, we will depend solely upon God’s love and grace upon our lives.

Monday, (May 16) – Church: Pray that our church will grow in the area of Evangelism. Pray that our church will be able to step out into the community and share the gospel message. Pray that the gospel be shared through our lives. Pray that people will be open to the gospel message and will embrace Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Pray for all people to know and realize their deep need of Jesus in their hearts. Pray also that gospel may be shared through the work and ministry of Community Services.

Tuesday, (May 17) – Pray for our home to be an intentional missional outpost for Christ and nothing less, to make our home a home for others by giving to the needs of the saints and to display hospitality (Romans 12:13). Pray that our home will always open to show hospitality to strangers (Hebrews 13:2) and a beacon of hope to those who are lost (2 Peter 1:19). Pray for our home to prioritise our real family over biological families by doing good to everyone, especially those in the household of faith (Galatians 6:10).

Wednesday, (May 18) – Pray for the Nation: Pray for our government to play a more proactive role in safeguarding junior doctors from their harsh working environment, where they are frequently bullied and overworked, in light of the recent death of a houseman, which is presently being investigated. Pray for wisdom, compassion and fairness for our Health Ministry’s task team in revisiting the circular prohibiting its employees from speaking to media. Pray our Health Ministry will take into account the International Labor Organization’s (ILO) proposal for a cultural change within the medical profession to reduce excessive long work hours, which have a negative impact on occupational health and safety, work-life balance and individual productivity and performance.

Thursday, (May 19) – Methodist Prayer Convention: Commit to the Lord all the preparations that are being done for this Convention. Pray that God will move the hearts of the people in our churches to participate in this convention. Pray for the Lord’s anointing and sufficient grace to be upon the speakers that as they speak forth Your Word, it will indeed bear fruit in the hearts of all who will be participating. Pray that through this convention our lives may be renewed through prayer.

Friday, (May 20) – Thanks be to God that we can worship God publicly in this country. May God help us to treasure this precious freedom. Pray for the millions of brothers and sisters who live in fear daily in the places where professing their faith in Christ may be met with persecution and discrimination of pressure, hostility, and violence. Pray for God’s protection, provision, comfort, peace and strength to be upon them. Pray that they can access to God’s Word and He will give them the right words whenever they need to speak. Pray that by God’s immeasurable power and wisdom, He will raise many more people like Paul, turning the persecutors to be the instrument of God’s work.

Saturday (May 21) – Pray for the World: Pray for North Korea, which has announced its first death of Covid-19. Pray for God’s wisdom to be upon the authorities as they implement measures to control and prevent the spread of the virus, as well as for the treatment of those who have been affected. Continue to pray for Sri Lanka that the country leaders would recognize the people’s frustrations and needs, and to demonstrate their commitment to improve its economic crisis. Pray that this can be accomplished without violence.

Almighty God,

Bless every mother and every grandmother with the finest of your spiritual blessings today.

Confirm in her heart and spirit the work of her hands and the love that she has so freely given to those children under Your care.

Validate her worth daily so she has no reason to doubt whether she is loved, valued, and cherished in the eyes of her Heavenly Father.

Create in her a deep sense of your protection and trust, so that worry and fear will disappear as she places her loved ones into Your care.

Let her know that every prayer she has prayed and every encouraging word she has spoken on behalf of her children/grandchildren has been transformed into sweet, fragrant offerings before Your throne.

In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen

Pray that Your Commandment to honor our mothers be fulfilled in all families across the world on this Mother’s Day and in the days ahead: “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you” (Exodus 20:12).

Wednesday, (May 11) – Pray for the Nation: Continue to pray for God’s protection of our country’s judiciary system, as several former Malaysian Bar presidents are calling for another “Walk for Justice” to defend the judiciary from alleged intimidation. Pray also for the Bar Council to call an emergency general meeting (EGM) to examine the alleged intimidation of the judiciary. Pray for our king, Prime Minister and his cabinet, and to all those in authority, that their decisions be based on wise counsel, so that peace and welfare, truth and justice may reign among the rakyat.

Saturday (May 14) – Pray for the World: Continue to pray for Ukraine. Ask God for His forgiveness on the evil of this world, and for His mercy and divine intervention to end all invasions and attacks on Ukraine immediately, so that the country and its precious lives are no longer in danger of destruction.

Pray for the healing and reconciliation between the two countries.
