Monday 20 January Prayers and more

Here are three elements of the Prayer Day for 
20 January 2020. 

We invite you to join us, at your home, in your synagogue or church, to invite the Almighty to help our state and our country to survive and for the rains to come in his good time and in his good measure to soak the catchments, to restock the dams, to provide needed rain for man and beast.

Following then are
1) Prayers to offer
2) Times to pray with commensurate Scriptures
3) The flyer which you can share with mates in your sphere of influence. Feel free to share this blog as well. And do let us know if and where you are joining us (and if you can, photograph one of your moments of prayer, please).

Thank you for joining us.

Scriptures to read and with which to agree:

He provides rain for the earth; he sends water on the countryside.   (Job 5:10)

Sow righteousness for yourselves, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your fallow ground; for it is time to seek the LORD until he comes and showers his righteousness on you.     (Hosea 10:12)

You heavens above, rain down my righteousness; let the clouds shower it down. Let the earth open wide, let salvation spring up, let righteousness flourish with it; I, the LORD, have created it.    (Isaiah 45:8)

As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater.  (Isaiah 55:10)

“Do any of the worthless idols of the nations bring rain?
    Do the skies themselves send down showers?

No, it is you, Lord our God.
    Therefore our hope is in you,
    for you are the one who does all this.”  (Jeremiah 14.22)


Yet he has not left himself without testimony; He has shown kindness by giving you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons; he provides you with plenty of food and fills your hearts with joy. (Acts 14.7)

Ask the LORD for rain in the time of the latter rain. The LORD will make flashing clouds; He will give them showers of rain, Grass in the field for everyone.
 (Zechariah 10.1)


Join us as we pray the following prayers… (and add your own as well)

We pray for the Firemen and lift them into your hands. We pray that you would keep them safe and protected. We pray that you would guide them and give them wisdom in the midst of a challenging and chaotic situation. May your angels surround them and keep them safe. Also, give them rest and strength, we pray that they will conquer and be victorious in their mission both as individuals and as a unit. May your grace and mercy be with them. Amen.

We also pray for all the ambulances and medical aid teams that your healing hand would be with them. May you relieve any stress or trauma that they may be experiencing and give them peace. Lord may you make their efforts successful in each and every situation and with each person they are helping. Amen

Lord we also pray for all the responders, volunteers and other people who have been helping and will help. Give them the courage they need to do your will and make their efforts successful! Let your favour be with them in each and every situation. Cause their efforts to multiply and help many. May your spirit be with them to help them accomplish their task. Amen

For all the people that were injured in the fire and also the families of victims of the fire to be healed both physically and emotionally. Lord, they are going through a very difficult time and we cry out to you for your mercy. We pray that they will experience your comfort and healing power in their lives at this moment! Bring them your Shalom and give them rest. We also pray for everyone who has asthma that they will be kept safe and protected from the smoke and that they would have the aid they need. In Jesus name, Amen 

Lord, we also pray that we ourselves wouldn’t grow weary and would continue to pray in faith knowing that you hear all our prayers and will answer them with a yes and amen. Keep our hearts strong as we continue to bring our requests before you. May we not get discouraged in seeing what’s going on, but may we keep our eyes on You, the lifter of our heads.

We also pray for all the believers who are affected by these fires that you would renew their hope and encourage their hearts in your word. May they feel your presence with them and give them hope. May you answer their prayers and keep them safe. Help them to help others and use them as a testimony to all they encounter. May they be bold in sharing the gospel in what may seem like a hopeless situation in people’s lives. Lord, we ask you to fill them afresh with your Holy Spirit to keep them going and to keep them strong. Amen

Lord we also pray for everyone who doesn’t have a relationship with you in the affected areas to turn to you instead of only to their situation, may they come to the knowledge of God and his goodness. Lord, we ask in faith that many would find you amongst the smoke and that they would have a clear vision of who you are and what you have done for them, as well as what you will do for them these coming days. Give them a hope that will turn their lives around both now and for eternity. Amen

Father, you want us to seek you. And that’s what we are doing just now. We long to be in your presence. We want your worth and your Word to expand across Sydney and across the state and our country. Use all these circumstances for your praise and honour. Somehow bring glory to yourself as this crisis ends. Be exalted, oh God, above the heavens, and let your glory be over all the earth. We love and trust you. Amen.
