Monday, (May 17) – Pray for the Prayer Ministry in our church. As our nation enters into another full lock-down, pray that we as a Church will come together in prayer more intensively. Interceding for others is one of the ways we show love to one another. Interceding for others is one of the ways we can be in solidarity with all that is happening in and around us. Pray that our Church will continue to come together to pray and intercede for one another. We pray for more participation in our Morning Prayers and as well as our Thursday Night Prayer Meetings. Pray that these prayer meetings will be centred upon our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Tuesday, (May 18) – Faced with a more vicious third wave of COVID-19 infections, the entire country has come under MCO 3.0 until June 7, 2021, with the danger of the nation’s healthcare system becoming overwhelmed by the escalating daily infections and the rising number of deaths. Pray for the healthcare frontliners, for God’ protection upon them, and that they will stay physically, mentally and emotionally healthy. Pray for God’s protection upon the police, and that they will be vigilant to ensure that no one crosses districts and state lines.

Wednesday, (May 19) – Pray for the World: Pray that the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian militants will not spiral out of control and escalate into a full-scale war.

Pray that both Israel and the Palestinians will agree to resolve complex issues, leading to a peace treaty between the two sides.
Thursday, (May 20) – Pray for the Nation: Pray for the government that God will give the nation’s leaders wisdom and insight to make the right and necessary decisions to prevent the pandemic situation deteriorating further, even though some of the decisions may not go down well with some members of the public. Pray that the political leaders from all the various political parties will choose to put aside their differences and work together to balance the saving of lives and keeping the economic sector open to mitigate the impact on incomes and employment. Pray also that the rakyat will be proactive and do their part to help bring down the daily infections rather than criticise and blame the government for the current COVIC-19 situation in our nation.

Pray that these churches will learn to journey with those being affected by the virus. Pray also that our TRAC Churches will remain united with one another. Pray that our churches would not allow petty differences to draw us apart.
