II Corintians 13:9
WE PRAY TO GOD SO HE MAY RESTORE YOU COMPLETELY.
II Corintians 13:9
Last night I got a letter from Bolivia asking for prayer. I will put my friend's request, then I will follow with a prayer. You are welcome to join in.
-Pray for a peacemaking voice to be raised up and for the powers of darkness that thrive in such sitautions as this one to be thwarted
Father I pray that your church rises up and takes its stand in Bolivia. For we know it is the church who is to be a voice of peacemaking an we know it is the church who is to stand and fight agains the powers of darkness.
- Pray for petrol to be released from the holding centre in El Alto, so that the ambulance service in El Alto and the rubbish collection services can be reestablished.
Father I pray that petrol be released so that amulance service be restored. I also pray for the church to be released from its fear so it may also go to the hospitals to pray for the sick. Not only now...but also during times of peace.
-Pray for food supplies to get into the city of El Alto and also La Paz were some are running out of food
Father I pray for food supplies to reach those without food. I also pray that the church be touched, deeply and consider always those who even in times of peace do not have a plate of hot soup to serve to their family.
-Pray for the attitude of the road blockers to soften
Father, I cannot pray for this. Right or wrong these people are now being a voice of many, many who are poor and under the weight of a corrupted society. May thier voice be heard. Specially by the church.
Father, may the attitude of the church be softened. This I can pray.
- Pray for the safety of our church members - Martin and Carla Flores, plus their 3 children and now their maid and her husband (who have no food), live a couple of blocks from the main plaza where the government buildings are and near the to the main police station were all the arrested are being taken, and they are virtually unable to go out due to tear gassing and rioting mobs
Father I pray for them and many others who live near them and are in the same circumstances. I pray your angels guarding them. I also pray that christians undergoing this situations become aware what many have to go through on daily basis. Even in times of "peace". The abuse of authorities and, the extreme fear of living in a violent neighborhood. May the church awake to a dying world.
- Ron's wife Nicky is imminently expecting a baby and they live at the other end of the city and don't have petrol to get up own to the clinic where the baby is due to be born. She is on medication to stop a premature birth! Bless her and the baby!
Father I pray for Nicky and her baby. Provide the medical care they need. Father, I also pray that the church awakens to the reality that in Bolivia the highest percentage of death in women is when they are giving birth-due to the lack of medical care. And the percentage is high. Awaken the church.
- Several of our members and attenders live in rather dodgy areas of the city and will no doubt be under a lot of pressure
Father I pray for those who live in rather dodgy areas...awaken the church to the fact that such places do exist. I also pray that other church members in better circumstances become bold and move out of their safe places and take food and emotional support to the bretheren who are now under such terrible circumstances. May the church move.
Pray that rioters and looters will not reach Sopocachi where the church is and many of our members live - its about a 10 minute walk from where much of the trouble has been and so far little damage has been caused in Sopocachi. We live in St. George's just down the road from Sopocachi and the centre of the city is about a 15 mintue walk, opposite the American and Britich Embassies. We can hear the miners dynamite explosions in the centre of the city.
8 Pray for calm and wisdom on the part of the general population - Sopocachi residents held a massive meeting in a plaza last night to arrange civic defense - our prayer is that there will not be any precipitous behaviour on the part of local residents which might cause violent confrontations in our neighbourhood. It is quite understable that residents wish to protect their property but on the other hand precipitous behaviour in a tense situation can cause things to get out of control, and the situation is certainly very tense
Father, awaken the church. We had this experience not long ago in Bolivia...yet we chose to ignore reality. We chose to close ourselves in our seminars. We chose not to hear what was building up. Father I pray for peace. BUT do not let us forget! AND do not let us stay indifferent to a dying world. Help us take our place in bringing justice to this world. Let us be brave!
Pray for water supplies to be reconnected in the areas of La Paz where water was cut off on Monday after protesters took control of a water reservoir
Father, allow the water supplies to be reconnected. But I also pray that the church awakens to the horror of not having tap water in their house- so many people lack water in the world, having to walk miles to get some. Teach us to care for it. And teach us to think of those that are in need. Take that hardened thought away "there is nothing I can do"...
And Father as a church remind us that You have given us living waters...let us also consider the many who also lack these kind of waters. Remind us of their thirst. We tend to get so involved in programs and end up forgetting what it is really about...reaching out...
Pray for the peaceful residents of El Alto who are under great pressure to join protest marches or risk damage to themsleves, families or property when they refuse to join in
Yes Father we pray that their choice be respected and that they may find protection in you, and I also pray for the christian bretheren who chose to fight, who find it just to do so. May their choice also be respected and may they also find protection in you.
Father, I also want to pray for all the foreigners that are there. May they find protection but may they also discover the truth of an agonizing world and the need for a saviour and for a living church.
Let your church arise. Let your church arise.
Father may they be a voice to the rich countries of the truth and the need of more than money. May the church in these countries start to look beyond their comfort zone.
I pray for the children who are living this. I pray for the homes for street children, may they have food to feed them. May brave and generous hearts be touched so they may put food in a bag and walk if needed to take something to those in the street.
And Father, I put my two young sons,who are now in La Paz and far from their mom, before you.
May all of this make of them Godly men. Men that walk near you and seek you in times of adversity. Brave men. Sensitive to the poor and to those in need.
May their hearts also be awakened to the reality that this world is not eternal, and it is reaching its final time. May this truth affect the way they spend their time, their life.
Father, I pray for Bolivia= awaken the church.
