Prayer suggestions everyday from PCI.

ModeratorContinue to pray for the Special Assembly which will now be taking place on Wednesday 18 February.  Pray that the preparations for the logistical aspects of the day will go ahead smoothly and that, good decisions and outcomes would emerge as a result of the deliberations that take place. 

Worship: Directed and set free  ‘Direct my footsteps according to your word; let no sin rule over me.’ Psalm 11:133. As we worship today ask God to direct our daily living and set us free from sins that overshadow our lives.

Neil and Jenny Stewart, global mission workers, Spain Give thanks for the special Christmas events that Neil and Jenny were involved in and pray that God would grow the seeds planted. Give thanks also for the good time that Neil, Jenny and the children spent with family and friends over the Christmas season in Northern Ireland. Pray for clear, purposeful planning and for God to grow his Church in the year ahead. 

Persecuted Church Pray for the Christians in Afghanistan experiencing great pressure and uncertainty from day to day, ever since the Taliban took control of the country in 2021. Remember the leaders of underground house churches, that they would evade arrest and know God’s protection. Pray for Christian women, indeed women from all religious minorities in Afghanistan, who are especially vulnerable to physical abuse.

Care staffPray for care staff within our residential and nursing facilities as they undertake practical tasks and personal care duties throughout the working day. Specialist end of life care for residents can often be overlooked, but is demanding, both physically and emotionally. Pray for staff providing such care, that although challenging, they will also find it a rewarding experience.
Public Affairs Give thanks for the many works of compassion and love carried out across PCI on a daily basis, whether in formal settings, or by individual Christians. Pray that, as these are done in response to our Lord’s command to love our neighbour as ourselves, these acts of kindness will be a blessing to many. Pray, too, that they will demonstrate the greatest love of all, that of Jesus for his church.
