Praise God for all our corporate prayer meetings and pray for more people to join these meetings. Pray that we will be sacrificial in seeking to meet the material, emotional and spiritual needs of people during this season of the pandemic.
Monday, (Aug 30) – Pray that we as a church will learn to be still before new challenges and obstacles. Pray that we will learn to look back to the wonderful acts of God and be reminded of His unfailing presence as we walk in His divine plans. Pray for courage to move on as we put our trust completely in God. Pray for the church leadership as they discern together God’s plan for the church for the coming term (2022-2023). Pray that our ears be attentive to the leading and promptings of the Holy Spirit.
Tuesday, (Aug 31) – Pray for the World: Last week, 2 suicide bombers struck Kabul airport in Afghanistan, killing 13 US troops and dozens of Afghan civilians. Pray for God’s protection upon all the people who are evacuating from the country. Pray that the country will not be a haven for extremists and terror groups. A new wave of refugees is expected to come from Afghanistan to many parts of the Middle East and the rest of the world. Pray for God’s protection and provision over them in their journeys.

Wednesday, (Sept 1) – The COVID-19 cases mainly remained above the 20,000-mark in the past week, with high rate of cases in East Malaysia, and some of the northern states in Peninsula Malaysia. Pray that the vaccination roll-out will be speeded up in these states where the daily cases continue to be high. As anti-vaxxers are trying to get fake digital COVID-19 vaccination certificates, and their irresponsible action is a threat to public health, pray for a collective effort to clamp down on these fake vaccine certificates, from businesses checking them rigorously to reporting sites offering these fake certificates. Pray also that the rakyat will stay vigilant and continue to follow all the SOPs regardless of whether they have been fully vaccinated or not.

During this time of crisis, pray that God will give all our political leaders wisdom that they may be able to do things beyond their understanding. Pray that God will help them choose the right paths when they make decisions on behalf of the nation. Pray that they will be humble and have respect for one another. Pray that, when they have differing opinions and agendas, God will transform their hearts and minds, and help them to work together for the good of the nation.
Friday, (Sept 3) – Pray for TRAC: Pray for God’s guidance to be upon all Boards in the Trinity Annual Conference.

Saturday, (Sept 4) – Pray for the youths in our church that God will protect them against the kingdom of darkness and against distractions from their focus on God’s will for their lives. Pray that they will have the fear of the Lord and a willing spirit to serve Him in the prime of their youth. Pray that the Spirit will birth in their hearts a love for God and for others, especially for their friends in Christ. Pray that they will be grounded in the truth of God’s Word. Pray that God will grant them clarity of mind and spirit in this age of confusion, and strength to battle mental and physical anguish as they are confined to their homes because of the pandemic. Pray for re-established faith for those who are discouraged.
