We continue to follow Christian Concern’s structure for prayer, today focusing on praying for the church. Hopefully this will get you started!

“There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. We love because he first loved us.” (1 John 4:18-19)

That the Church would act out of faith, not fear, in its response to the virus

That Christians would be ready to give a reason for the hope that is in us

That Christians would be both bold and sensitive in sharing the gospel

That we would be willing to be examples of Christ’s love for us by sacrificially serving our brothers, sisters and neighbours according to their needs

For churches that run foodbanks, homeless shelters, schools and other social action projects – that they would be effective in caring for others despite the challenges

That churches would put effective measures in place to continue worshipping God and providing pastoral support, while not endangering the vulnerable
