Sunday, (Sept 5) – Pray that we as a church will truly live our lives as children of Light. Pray that we would learn to dissociate ourselves from the lifestyle that is contrary to the new way of life that God has called us into. Pray for a continual indwelling of the Holy Spirit in each one of our lives. Pray that we would be strong in understanding God’s Word so that our faith may be strengthened, enabling us to achieve great things for the honor and glory of God.
Monday, (Sept 6) – Even as we give thanks to God that the daily COVID-19 cases in the Klang Valley are declining, the concern now is for Sabah, Johor, Kedah, Penang and Kelantan that are facing a surge in daily new infections. Pray for God’s wisdom upon the newly appointed Minister of Health and his ministry to curb these rising cases by prioritising vaccine supplies to these states and also by transferring assets and human resources from other states that require them less. Pray that these strategies will see a reduction in the daily number of cases, hospitalisations, critical cases and deaths. Pray too that the public will continue to practice strict adherence to all the SOPs regardless of whether they have been fully vaccinated or not.
Tuesday, (Sept 7) – Pray for the World: Pray for Afghanistan. With most international aid shut, Afghan government services cannot function and public employees are not receiving their salaries. Pray for God to intervene and provide a solution as this situation will lead to a food crisis within a month. Pray for the new government formed under the Taliban group, that their minds and hearts will be renewed through the sovereign hand of the Lord. Pray for them to come out from whatever lies that have blinded them and they will experience the light of Christ. Continue to pray for the safety of the believers in the country.
Wednesday, (Sept 8) – Malaysia will offer Covid-19 jabs to all children aged between 12 and 17 beginning this month. Pray for a smooth roll-out of the vaccination programme throughout the nation, and that many children will be able to be fully vaccinated as schools are scheduled to reopen in October 2021. As the level of education in the nation has been deteriorating over the years, pray that the Ministry of Education will be willing to consult, engage and work together with experts to implement an effective education system that incorporates good and holistic character development with an excellent academic syllabus. Pray for equal opportunities for all children regardless of race, ethnicity or religion, especially for the Orang Asli and Orang Asal children.
Thursday, (Sept 9) – Pray that the Church of Malaysia will not let the fear of the COVID-19 pandemic rule us, but that we shall have the strength, courage, wisdom and freedom of faith to bring relief and serve the community with compassion and grace as people cry out for help. Pray that we win favour with the community by our authentic witness of courageous selfless service, our generosity and sacrificial love for those severely impacted by the pandemic. Pray that our motivation is the love of God for all mankind.
Friday, (Sept 10) – Pray for TRAC: Pray for the upcoming Joint Boards Meeting (11th Sept). Pray for God’s guidance to be upon Bishop Joshua Khong as he leads and directs the conference (TRAC). Pray for all Board chairpersons who would be doing their presentations that they would speak with clarity. Pray that we as a conference will do that which God has and is showing us. Pray that the hearts of all those attending the meeting will be in tune with the Holy Spirit. Pray also for no technical hiccups throughout the meeting that would be held online.
Saturday, (Sept 11) – Pray for the Nation: The first meeting of the 4th session of the 14th Malaysian Parliament will be held from September 13 to October 12, 2021. Pray that God will banish from the hearts of the Parliamentarians all selfishness and corrupt intentions. Pray that all the ministers of the new Cabinet and all the MPs will put aside their differences and strive to work together for the common good of the nation and the people. Pray that this government will be God-fearing, righteous, upright and competent enough to lift our nation out of this miry pit of a devastating health crisis that has resulted in a weakened financial situation..
