Sunday, (Mar 14) – Praise God that He loves the whole world, and yet He loves each of us as if we were His only child. Thank Him that He made His only Son as our substitute for sin, and that Jesus was lifted up on the cross for our sakes and took the punishment that we deserve. Pray that the Holy Spirit will show us the parts of ourselves that need to be cleansed and changed, and make us anew into Christ’s perfect image. Pray that we will lift up the wonderful name of Jesus to all with whom we come in contact, so that those who do not know Him may hear the good news of the glorious Gospel of grace and look to Him for salvation and receive eternal life.
Monday, (Mar 15) – Pray for the leadership of Wesley Klang as we work out the processes of resuming the in-person worship service through different phases or stages. We praise God that the cumulative numbers of Covid-19 new cases are declining. However, we need to be mindful that the new cases reported in Selangor are still high and most districts in Selangor are red zones. Pray for God’s wisdom to be upon the leadership as we make these crucial decisions. Pray that we would indeed make decisions that would honour the Lord.
Tuesday, (Mar 16) – There is an urgent need for the government to quickly reopen the domestic helper sector as many families are struggling to cope, especially those with members who work full time and have babies, young children, or elderly family members to care for. The hiring of foreign maids has been on hold from last year when the COVID-19 cases became widespread. Pray for wisdom for the government to make the right decisions, and to formulate appropriate SOPs, as it works with maid recruitment agencies on when foreign maids will be allowed to come back into the nation.
Wednesday, (Mar 17) – Praise God that more than 300,000 people have recovered from COVID-19 since the pandemic started last year. Pray that the daily number of new COVID-19 cases will continue to drop, especially in Selangor which has the highest number of daily new cases. Pray that the National COVID-19 Vaccination Programme will continue to proceed smoothly, and that those who have been vaccinated will have protection against the virus. Pray that the public will not let their guard down despite the decrease in daily cases and the immunization programme, but will continue to comply with the SOPs until the Health Ministry gives the green light that the battle against the pandemic is over.
Thursday, (Mar 18) – Pray for the Nation: There is an urgency to restore the economy in the nation as Malaysia’s unemployment rate is expected to balloon to 13%, and 2.4 million citizens will be without a job, according to a report by the Employees Provident Fund (EPF). Pray for effective economic policies to be established and to restore the economy: manufacturing, small and medium-sized enterprises, retail and various business sectors, e.g. the tourism industry that has been badly hit by the pandemic, that will provide jobs for the people.
Friday, (Mar 19) – Pray for TRAC: Board of Youth Work. Pray for our youths who are the next generation. Pray that our youths will be grounded well in the Word of God. Pray that our youths will find their purpose and security in God. Pray for the TRAC Board of Youth Work as they provide and assist the various churches in TRAC with their youth ministry. Pray that God will grant the Board wisdom as they plan out Youth TRAC events and programmes. Pray that they will be able to provide relevant and suitable resources for our churches.
Saturday, (Mar 20) – Pray for the World: Violence against women and girls has escalated globally since the COVID-19 pandemic, as people are confined to the home and are restricted in their movements. Pray that governments will take appropriate actions to safeguard the health and human rights of women, and to take steps and work towards it by starting helpline and counselling services. Pray against the spirit of violence in the home, and that families will use this time to bond with one another, rather than fight with each other.
