Prayer Points.
Our Personal Walk: A Heart for Wisdom
Pray for a deepening of your personal relationship with Christ. Ask the Holy Spirit to sharpen your discernment so that your life reflects the truth in an increasingly "post-truth" world.
"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him." — James 1:5
Our Local Community: Greater Bunbury area
Intercede for your neighbours. Pray for the families attending local school programs, those facing the rising cost of living, and that Agora would be a "city on a hill"—a place where people find both practical help and the hope of the Gospel.
"But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare." — Jeremiah 29:7
Our National Leaders: Guidance for Australia
Lift up our national leaders, including Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Opposition Leader Angus Taylor. Pray that they would lead with integrity and compassion, especially as they navigate complex issues like migration, the economy, and energy security.
"First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way." — 1 Timothy 2:1-2
The World & Global Conflicts: Peace in the Midst of Storms
Pray for the "hotspots" of conflict—the ongoing tensions in the Middle East, the borders of Afghanistan and Pakistan, and the humanitarian crisis in the DRC. Ask God to restrain the hand of violence and protect the vulnerable.
"He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; he breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the shields with fire." — Psalm 46:9
Spiritual Awakening: The "Quiet Revival"
With more people reportedly having spiritual encounters and seeking truth through the Bible, pray that the Church would be ready to "join the dots." Ask for a bold, gentle spirit to welcome those who are searching for something real.
"And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions." — Joel 2:28
A Prayer for the Week: Lord, we thank You that You are Sovereign over the nations and near to the brokenhearted. May our time at Agora this week be marked by Your presence. Grant us the courage to be Your hands and feet and to have the faith to believe for a great awakening across our land. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
