Prayer Points for Week Commencing 1 December 2024
We believe in a God that hears and answers prayer. Why not PRINT this page and use it this week?
Sunday, 1st December: On this Advent Sunday we pray: Lord Jesus Christ, You came among us as a child in Bethlehem. Make Your home in our hearts this Christmas – God with us – and bless our community, our nation and our world with the knowledge of Your transforming Light and Peace. Amen.
Monday, 2nd: Pray that there will be a good response to our special offering this month for Tearfund's Middle East Humanitarian Appeal. “Dear God, We cry out to you on behalf of the people seriously affected by the conflict in the Middle East. Our hearts break at the devastation and suffering that we see, and we know it breaks yours, too. We ask that you would stretch out your mighty hand to bring an end to this war. We cry out for people who have been injured or traumatised, who have lost loved ones or their homes. Please provide everything they need and be their comfort, their hope, their healer and their safe refuge. We pray for your peace to reign. We look to you as our Saviour and the hope of the world. Amen.”
Tuesday, 3rd: Continue to pray for the arrangements that are being made for the restructuring of the Church of Scotland's witness in Kinross-shire, that opportunities will be taken to reach more people with the Good News of Christ.
Wednesday, 4th: Pray for Alex Johnson as he speaks at Kinross Primary School assemblies this afternoon and for fruitful contact with all ages in our community.
Thursday, 5th: Lift before God today those who are finding it harder to get out and about and remember the Let's Talk gathering on Zoom on a Thursday morning in which some of them take part. Pray that others would join them.
Friday, 6th: Pray for the young folks who gather this evening to play Dungeons and Dragons and ask God's blessing on all the young people who have a connection with Kinross Parish Church that they may be drawn closer to Christ during this season.
Saturday, 7th: Pray for the Christmas Messy Church event taking place at Orwell Church this afternoon in collaboration with the Kinross Family Week team.
AMEN
