Sunday, (Jan 2) – The recent events such as the Pandemic and the floods had caused so much havoc in the lives of people. The Pandemic has brought about so much disconnection in most of our relationships be it among friends, family and church. The changes in the way we worship together in church has also changed resulting in people feeling disconnected from God and as well as within the church family. Pray that as God pursues after us, we will intentionally draw ourselves close to God. Pray that we will take Jesus’ invitation to come to Him seriously. Pray that we as a church will learn to rest in Jesus and may we learn to minister to one another in the church out of that rest we have received from Jesus.
Monday, (Jan 3) – Pray for the Sunday School ministry of Klang Wesley. Commit the Sunday School Superintendent (Sis. Tien Bin) and the entire team of teachers to the Lord as they plan out the programs and activities for the Sunday School. Pray for the love of Christ to be shared to the children of our Sunday School. Pray that our children will grow up knowing the love of God in their lives. Pray also that our children will learn to also love one another and bless others especially when they are in school.
Tuesday, (Jan 4) – Pray for flood victims and relief efforts, as well as attempts to clean up after the floods and rebuilding homes that have been damaged. We give thanks to all non-governmental organisations and volunteers that acted quickly to provide shelter, food, transportation, and boats to people who were impacted by the recent floods. We also give thanks for the ongoing search for rescuers who have saved lives, particularly those who have become lost or stranded. Let us continue to pray for good weather as we work to rebuild and clean up the places that have been impacted. Pray for our government to not only provide financial assistance, but also for ministers or MPs to have a compassionate heart in servicing the needs of the rakyat who have been badly impacted by the floods.
Wednesday, (Jan 5) – Pray for the Nation: Our prime minister’s announcement of Keluarga Malaysia a few months ago resonated with Malaysians as a family-oriented initiative that prioritises family connections with care, trust, and respect. Pray for a strong inculcation of the “family-ness” level in order to maintain the whole family structure functional and to reflect the spirit of muhibbah on a larger social dimension. Pray for better bonding, as such values have lost traction as a result of the lockdown during the epidemic and technology breakthroughs, which resulted in dehumanisation as trust and connections were neglected, lowering the level of “family-ness.”
Thursday, (Jan 6) – Pray for TRAC: Commit to the Lord the TRAC Executive Board Meeting and as well as the Board of Ministry Meeting that will take this coming weekend. Pray for God’s guidance and wisdom to be upon all those who are involved in these meetings. Pray for hearts to be united as they make important decisions for our conference. Pray for the Lord’s anointing to be upon our conference Bishop (Bishop Joshua Khong) and as well as our BOM Chairman (Rev. Ashok Amarasingam).
Friday, (Jan 7) – Pray for schools. The reopening of schools in 2022 has been postponed to January 9 (schools in Category A states) and on January 10 (Category B states) due to the recent flood. Pray for God’s comfort and guidance for the flood-affected parents, students, and teachers. Pray for the students, that they will not be discouraged and instead look forward to a new semester of study with their classmates. Pray for wisdom and direction for the Education Ministry and schools as they prepare to reopen in the best possible time and condition.
Saturday, (Jan 8) – Pray for the World: Pray for the leaders of the world. Pray for wisdom and guidance for them as each country mourns the loss they experienced in 2021 and moves forward with new visions to rebuild it. Pray that the leaders will put their personal agendas aside and prioritize the needs of the people. Pray for them to pursue justice, unity and peace among people and nations around the world.
