Sunday, (Oct 10) – Pray that every spirit of stubbornness, pride and disobedience, which are the marks of goats, be replaced in our lives with gentle, submissive and obedient spirits – the marks of sheep. Pray that we will take up Christ’s challenge to be more like Him, to be willing to pour out our lives in service to others, not in search of reward or payback, but simply because it is the loving thing to do, knowing that no service is too small for Jesus to remember. Pray that as sheep of the Shepherd, we will follow our Shepherd’s lead, and love others as He has loved us and given Himself for us, and that our choices will reveal the Kingdom to which we belong.
Monday, (Oct 11) – Missions Month: Pray for the great needs of the migrants in our nation to be met. Pray for God’s guidance to be upon the migrant ministries in our midst.

Pray that God would raise up more Christian teachers to be salt and light to these children who are enrolled in the EL-Shaddai Refugee Learning Centre. Pray for the seed of the Gospel to be planted into the hearts of the migrants. Pray that they will be open to the message of Christ that is being shared to them. Pray that they will experience the love of Christ through the church.

Wednesday, (Oct 13) – Pray for the Nation: Pray for a peaceful resolution to the Melaka political crisis after the Chief Minister lost his majority in the state legislative assembly. Pray that the authorities will take the cue from the Sabah state elections and consider deferring the Melaka snap polls as the nation cannot afford another wave of COVID-19 infections. Pray that the Melaka State authorities will listen to the pleas of the people in the state, many of whom want the state elections to be postponed. Pray for wisdom for the Agong and the Federal government as to whether to call for an emergency order over the state and put in a caretaker government for the time being until the situation is safe to hold elections.
Thursday, (Oct 14) – The daily COVID-19 cases are dropping, the pandemic situation is improving, and more restrictions are being lifted. As the government has opened up interstate travel, pray that the people who are making travel plans will carefully follow all the SOPs implemented by the government. Pray also that the on-going vaccination programme among the teenagers above 12 years old will continue smoothly, and that those vaccinated will have no or minimal side effects from the vaccine. Pray also for kindergartens and child-care centres as they will open to facilitate parents who will be going back to work in their offices. Pray that the teachers and helpers will ensure all SOPs are strictly followed, and the centres will be safe environments. Pray that God will protect the little children, teachers and helpers.
Friday, (Oct 15) – Pray for TRAC: We thank God that the pandemic has caused many individuals and NGOs from all walks of life to freely distribute food aid to all in need – pushing back the race and religion barriers through kindness and bringing some measure of healing to our multi-ethnic country. Let us pray for initiatives such as the new low risk Covid-19 Patients Quarantine Centres in Kuala Lumpur and in Penang operated by Crest Malaysia to help the B40 community. Pray for more of our TRAC Churches to be involved in these initiates.
Saturday, (Oct 16) – Pray for the World: Pray for missionaries all over the world who are now adjusting to a new way of doing ministry or who may still be trying to figure things out. Pray that God will help them rest in Him. Pray that if there are feelings of guilt or uncertainty, God will turn those into times of seeking and abiding in Him. Pray that the Lord will reveal to them what He wants the focus in their lives and ministries to be right now, and grant them His peace that surpasses all understanding.
