Prayer Breakfast

May 25, 2021

For the next hour, let us remember and pray for the homeless/marginalized in London

Prayer points:

Pray for peace, Christ's peace, to calm their anxiety and fears
Pray for healing - the vast majority of those on the streets have experienced trauma, suffer from mental illness, which is oftentimes compounded by addiction
Pray for God to touch their lives in a tangible way today, something that will show them God is real and looking out for them
Pray for these individuals to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living (Ps 27:13). Believe with me that, like Job, God has an "After this..." (Job 42:16) waiting for them

Pray for those who serve in the administration of justice - Judges, clerks, court staff, tribunals and administrative decision makers, lawyers and other legal professionals, and their staff
Pray for those seeking justice
Pray for wisdom, guidance, prudence, integrity, and discernment for our political, judicial, and legal leaders as they draft laws, make decisions, issue judgments, develop policies, seek and offer counsel,
Pray that our legal institutions will be strengthened in their commitment to truth and justice
Pray that we, as Christians, will be faithful in our public witness and citizenship
Pray that London’s Christian community will “do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God” (Micah 6:8)

For the next hour, let us remember and pray for the educational institutes, teachers, faculty, staff, students and parents in London

Prayer points:

For the next hour, let us remember and pray for the international newcomers, immigrants, students and families in London

Prayer points:

Pray for newcomers and students in a foreign country in the midst of Covid. They often feel isolated, worried about their families back home and it is difficult to meet people.
Pray for hundreds of Christ followers to reach out to international students and refugees in love and genuine friendship.
Pray for students to find affordable housing and jobs and to be treated fairly.
A large percentage of these students/refugees come from countries where they may never have met a Christian. Here they have much more freedom. Pray that they will be curious and God will draw their hearts to seek and find faith in Jesus.
