Dear Lord, Thank You for the people who lead our church. You have led them to serve You in this way, at this moment. I pray that they will be strengthened, encouraged, and blessed today. You know what their specific needs are. I pray that they will see Your provision and give You the glory. I pray that You will help them stay true to what You have called them to do. Give them wisdom as they serve the body of Christ today. May You draw them closer to You each day, and help them to serve You out of the spiritual strength that You give them today. In Christ Jesus’ Name, Amen (https://churchministryhelp.com/prayer-for-church-leaders/)

Today I pray for the fruits of the spirit in Noel and Megan’s life—that love, joy, peace, and patience will guide; that kindness and goodness will be companions; that faithfulness will be the motto, and that gentleness and self-control will be evident to all.

Dear God, We cry out to you on behalf of the people seriously affected by the conflict in Gaza and Israel. Our hearts break at the devastation and suffering that we see, and we know it breaks yours, too. We ask that you would stretch out your mighty hand to bring an end to this war. We cry out for people who have been injured or traumatised, who have lost loved ones or their homes. Please provide everything they need and be their comfort, their hope, their healer, and their safe refuge. We pray for your peace to reign. We look to you as our Saviour and the hope of the world. Amen. (https://www.tearfund.org/stories/2023/10/how-to-pray-for-gaza-and-israel#:~:text=Dear%20God%2C,an%20end%20to%20this%20war.)
