GCCI Prayer Wall (5/2/2021-5/8/2021)
First, let us prepare our hearts with prayers of gratitude and purification: Heavenly Father, I praise you. Heavenly Father, I thank you, how high is the sky above the earth, how great is the love you show to those who fear you; as far as the east is to the west, you make our transgressions away from us. Father, I praise you, because of your love and grace you gave your only-begotten son Jesus Christ, who died on the cross to redeem me, shed His blood and died on the cross for me. Because of the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ, I can be at peace with God. Because of the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ, I am healed. Because of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, I have hope of eternal resurrection, and I can live in your abundance and grace every day.
1. Prayer for Mothers: As we celebrate Mother’s Day 5/9, may the Lord’s kindness and blessing be over all mothers whether it is our physical mother or spiritual mother in the Lord, pray that the Lord would remember their hard work and bless them. Also ask the Lord to help every mother to raise her children with loyalty and dedication, to teach her children with love and wisdom, to lead her children with words and deeds, and to cultivate her children with true faith. We pray that the Lord will bring true peace to every mother, that God would take care of our mothers' health, wish our mothers spiritual beauty, and guide our mothers to love the Lord deeper. Let us children obey, respect, and honor them in the Lord.
2. Pray for GCCI: In the past few days, California, especially Los Angeles County, has fallen to the most moderate yellow level, and the situation is getting better. We are gradually seeing the light at the end of this long dark tunnel. At the same time, our church is paying close attention to the regulations of the government and the health department while gradually entering the critical transition period of full physical gatherings. We implore brothers and sisters to pray for themselves, pray for our church senior pastor and pastoral staff, pray for our church’s preschool education and Chinese school. Let every member of the church have a united heart, follow the Lord's guidance, embrace together, and gradually return to this spiritual home, so that this loving family can undergo reconstruction, renewal, and revival under the Lord's protection.
3. Pray for Israel: Psalm 128:5-6 "May the Lord bless you from Zion! May you see the benefits of Jerusalem throughout your life, and may you see your children's children! May peace be with Israel!" Israel is the love of God, let We once again pray for Israel. As Netanyahu could not unite the political camps of various parties to form a government before May 4, Rivlin announced the official authorization of the center-left Future Party leader Yail. Rapid formed a new government. In the past few years, we have seen Israel swing between the left and right wings, pull between secularization and Jewish attributes, and in a parliament full of political parties, it has caused many confrontations and slowly tore apart the society. We look forward to the humility of Israeli political parties, people and society, to put aside their hatred and confrontation, and restore brotherhood. We call for the economic difficulties and stagnation of social development caused by the long-term political deadlock. We pray that the Israeli people can turn to God in depression and confusion. We pray that God will guide Israel on the path of God's destiny and rise up in their heavenly identity.
4. Pray for India: Continue to pray urgently for India's current severe COVID-19 pandemic. As of 5/8, 22 million people have been infected and 240,000 people have died. Pray for forgiveness and mercy, that God would heal the Indian people, and stop the mutation and spread of the new crown virus. May the Lord save the Indian people from the epidemic and the bondage of idol power, so that India can rejoice in Jehovah’s salvation. We call on the Lord’s loving hand to come to India, so that medical supplies, gas and oxygen supplies, and vaccines from various countries can arrive as soon as possible. In addition, the epidemic situation in neighboring countries such as Bangladesh and Nepal has reached a record high. Pray that the resources needed can effectively be given to the medical system, so that they can reach more people in need, and return to normal life as soon as possible. Pray for God to turn the hearts of local people to the One True Living God.
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. Pray that through this suffering, they would experience the fruit of longsuffering and patience from the Lord. That through this adversity they would experience God as their help.
