GCCI Prayer Wall (2/28/2021-3/6/2021)
First, let’s prepare our hearts with prayers of gratitude and purification: Heavenly Father, I praise you, you are a faithful God, and your faithfulness continues through all generations. I thank you, for you are faithful to the covenant you made with me, and through your Holy Spirit, I see the fulfillment of the wonderful promises in my life. I praise you for you are a Holy God. You hate evil, and You delight in good. In you, there is fullness of light and no darkness. I thank you for sanctifying me every day through your Holy Spirit, the blood of Jesus, and through Your word, so that I can become more of the likeness of Jesus, and so that I can bear witness to all your riches and to glorify you.
1. Pray for the United States: Thank God for his grace and mercy. With the cliff-like decline in the number of coronavirus diagnoses across the United States, and the gradual expansion of the number of vaccinated people, all states in the United States have entered a phased economic restart. Many school districts in the Los Angeles area are also actively preparing to allow students to gradually return to campus in stages. Pray that God will allow this good trend to continue, so that we can completely get rid of the haze of the pandemic and return to normal life. Also, since mid-February, many states in the eastern United States, especially Texas, have experienced an unprecedented snowstorm. We have seen many areas without water and electricity, no heating, and the people are suffering in the freezing weather. We once again look to the Lord for all disaster-affected areas and ask God to show mercy, so that all energy facilities can resume operation as soon as possible, so that the damaged homes of the people can be repaired as soon as possible. For those calling out to the Lord, may their cries be heard and let the earth be full of sound that the Lord's name will be exalted again!
2. Pray for this crooked and rebellious generation and pray for Church that has been established by God in this hour: The US Congress has passed the Equality Act and the HR5 bill a few days ago. It is currently awaiting a vote in the Senate. If the affirmative votes reach the threshold of 60 votes, they will be sent. It was handed over to President Biden for official signing and becoming a law. We can only imagine what kind of damage this will cause to American social values. The bill does not only protect homosexuals and transgender people from discrimination, but it forces those who do not accept such gender ideologies and completely sacrifices the fundamental rights of women. The bill also prohibits religious institutions, religious schools, adoption agencies, and other charitable organizations from adhering to mainstream biology and Biblical teachings when it comes to sex and marriage. In other words, we cannot preach the Bible’s definition of gender and marriage in churches, or we will face the federal government. This is an hour of urgency. Pray that the Lord will keep the church standing and interceding in the gap. The children of God will no longer be silent. We will keep watch and plead for this generation. Through messages sent by churches and other individuals let our voices be heard. We kneel to confess our sins and repent before the Lord. The United States has committed a sin that God hates! We ask God to forgive American politicians for compromising themselves for political gain and immersing themselves in the immorality of secular and religious liberalism. Please raise up a righteous voice and stand up with confidence and courage to resist. We declare that the "Equality Act" that God sees as evil cannot cause any persecution of parents, women, girls, companies at all levels, medical professionals, and churches!
3. Pray for Israel: Recently, the relations between Israel and Iran have deteriorated. The complicated situation in the Middle East has become increasingly tense. After the United States used precision-guided bombs to destroy the targets of several Iranian militias in Syria, Israel sailed towards Singapore's ocean-going freighter and was also attacked and exploded in the waters near Iran. We pray for peace in Jerusalem, and we pray that the Lord will stop all the tricks of Satan's enemies and corrupt all the tricks to be useless. Regardless of the circumstances, we pray that God’s eternal love surrounds Israel and that He would protect His people.
4. Pray for the nations- Myanmar: Let us look up to God with one heart for Myanmar. The domestic situation in Myanmar is still turbulent. The Internet and road traffic are still under blockade and restrictions, and protest strikes against the military government are still intensifying. There have been large-scale protests and strikes in Yangon, which have caused a certain number of casualties among the protesters. Pray for the Lord to take power in Myanmar and raise an environment to show his justice. Christians from all over the world stand together with the Myanmar churches, pray for Myanmar, pray that the Lord would give His peace and establish His will.
5. Pray for Brothers and Sisters: Continue to pray for brothers and sisters who are weak in their bodies and heavy in their spirits. Pray for the Lord to strengthen them and their families to be steadfast in their faith, and believe that God is Lord over all and in charge of everything, even the adversity they are facing. That we can learn thanksgiving and bear the fruits of praise no matter what circumstance we are in. That through this adversity they would experience God as their help.
