PRAYER POINTS FOR THE GOLD COAST - February - March 2024
GIVE THANKS
For the GC CHURCHES DISASTER RESPONSE co-ordinated through Samaritan’s Purse, Global Care, Convoy of Hope, Love this City.
From food hampers to chainsaws, provision came in and was directed quickly and efficiently. The work is still underway with many faith-based groups and organisations leading the way.
As we know, prayer is our biggest weapon and resource, so thank you to you and all the praying people of the GC who have faithfully lifted this city up for God’s mercy and love to spread to our neighbours and friends.
Continue to Pray for unity and synergy for the Body of Christ as we seek an increase of His Kingdom and His justice, righteousness and peace in our city.
Pray for the sending out of the workers for the harvest – A holy boldness to be upon God’s people that we might represent Him well in this season and we might be carriers of His good news.
Points for prayer submitted by Sue Baynes flowing out of discussion around the impact from the storms into the community
As we reflect in the Lenten period commencing on the 14th February let us take up the challenge found in Psalm 139:23-24 (ESV)
Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts
And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
Take time in meditation and listening prayer and allow this scripture to speak to your heart afresh.
In each congregation as we consider afresh the wonder of God’s amazing grace expressed in the Crucifixion and Resurrection of our Lord.
Pray that the people of God in the city will be gripped again by:
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another. John 13:34-35

PRAYER FOR CITY COUNCIL ELECTIONS
We pray for the election of a City Council leadership that will act with integrity and pursue policy that will enhance the life of the city – Take time to listen for how our Lord would have us pray into the elections.
1 Timothy 2:1-2. First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, 2 for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way
PRAYER FOR LEADERS IN THE CITY
Lord, we ask for Your wisdom and peace to settle upon all those in authority and in leadership, whether in churches or businesses, elected officials or educators. We pray for Your hand of protection over our leaders and their families and that they will be full of health, grace, and wisdom to navigate all that is in front of them.
Pray for the exposing of unrighteousness and compromise and for the raising up of Godly servant leaders across our city.
