Prayer Points.
For Our Global Family & Current Conflicts
Pray for the regions currently facing intense turmoil, especially the escalating situation in the Middle East and the ongoing struggles in Ukraine and Sudan. Ask for the protection of civilians and the softening of hearts among those in power.
"He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; he breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the chariots with fire." — Psalm 46:9
For Our National Leaders
Pray for our Australian leaders—both in government and opposition—as they navigate economic pressures, internal leadership shifts, and the complexities of international diplomacy. Ask for wisdom that prioritises peace and the well-being of all citizens.
"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
For Our Local Community
Lift up our neighbourhoods, specifically here in the South West. Pray for the success of local initiatives that foster inclusion and support, such as student mentorship and breakfast programs, that they may continue to be beacons of care.
"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
For Our Personal Walk
Reflect on your personal journey of faith this week. Seek a renewed sense of devotion and a heart that echoes the humility of Christ as we approach the remembrance of the cross.
"I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." — Galatians 2:20
For Spiritual Awakening
Pray for a global movement of the Spirit, that many would encounter the "living hope" of the resurrection for the first time this Easter, bringing light into places of darkness and despair.
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead." — 1 Peter 1:3
