For Your Prayers this week

Praying & Working to See God’s Kingdom Come

On 21st March 1960 when people gathered in Sharpeville, S. Africa, to protest pass laws, the police fired at them killing at least 69 people, if not more, and injuring many. On 21st December 1965 the United Nations General Assembly adopted the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD), 21st March 2025 marked its 60th anniversary. We mark this day as racism is on the rise throughout the world. Some Christians have been at the forefront of challenging racism, and it is time for all of us to do so. This week, please prayerfully consider what we learn about God’s heart for humanity from Genesis 1: 26-27, Galatians 3: 28 and Revelation 7: 9. Then please pray for God’s heart and His kingdom to become a reality among us and around the world. Please ask the Holy Spirit to guide you as to how to speak up for racial justice in the different spaces you find yourself in.

For Your Prayers

In “5 Things to pray for your church”, Rachel Jones, lists Scripture based prayers for the church. Please keep these newssheets through which we can pray for different aspects of church life. Please begin with confession of sin, adoration and thanksgiving, before bringing your requests to Him, including fellowship prayers below.

That our fellowship would HOLD TO THE TRUTH. (Psalm 19: 7-12)

Lord, help us to love one another in a way that…

Monday: PERFECT “The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul” (vs.7)

• Let us thank God that He has given us His perfect, trustworthy word so that we can truly know Him.

• Please pray that as we gather around the Bible on Sundays and at other times that our souls will be refreshed as we encounter the living God.

Tuesday: RADIANT Thank God that his radiant word gives "light to the eyes." (vs.8)

• Let us thank God that by the power of the Holy Spirit, the pages of Scripture show us who the Lord Jesus is and what He has done.

• Please pray that everyone who teaches God's word from our pulpit will always remember that only by teaching God's radiant word are people changed.

• Please pray that each week God will use the words that are shared to enlighten everyone’s eyes.

Wednesday: FIRM Thank God that His words “are firm, and all of them are righteous.” (vs.9)

• Please pray that as a church we’ll not compromise with culture but stand firm on God’s word.

• Please pray that we’ll confidently believe and live by the Bible’s correct and wise teaching.

Thursday: SWEET God’s decrees are “sweeter than honey, than honey from the honeycomb.” (vs. 10)

• Please pray we’d love feeding on God’s word more than we love feeding on our favourite word!

• Please pray that personally, in home group, and Sunday mornings learning from Scripture wouldn’t be a dry, academic exercise, but will be a delightful, sweet treat.

Friday: A WARNING The psalmist asks, “Who can discern their own errors?”

• Please pray that we’ll “not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves.” Please pray that we’ll “Do what it says.” (James 1: 22)

• Please pray we’ll listen to the warnings from God’s word and change how we live. (Ps.19: 11)

• Please pray that God’s word will reveal to us our hidden faults and turn us from sin, so that “we will be blameless, innocent of great transgression.” (Ps. 19: 11-12).

Saturday: Please thank the Lord for bringing healing and restoration to Joyce James and Clover Brown. Please pray for the Lord to heal Ps. Alan of the blood clot in his lungs and that the Lord will uphold him through his ongoing tests and treatment for cancer. Please pray for Anne Parker who is due to have further tests next week on her heart. Please pray the Lord will bring healing to Geremy Eckton’s broken finger, and that he’ll soon be seen in hospital. Please pray that the Lord will meet all physical, financial, spiritual and any other needs within the life of the fellowship. Please pray that the Lord will comfort Cynthia and Joy after their respective bereavement

Sunday: Please pray that as Yvonne leads worship and Ejiro shares God’s word, that God will be glorified, and we’ll all become more Christ-like for His glory and honour. Please pray that through Easter we’ll grow in our appreciation, love and commitment to the Lord, and that we’ll share the gospel with family, friends and neighbours. Please pray that through Messy Church at Easter, we’ll be led by the Spirit to share the love of God with them

Please pray that rich countries will generously give food aid to Somalia where 7.1 million people need food assistance and 230,000 are facing famine.
Remember those in conflict zones around the world and areas af- fected by natural disaster especially Southern African countries affected by flood and Syria and Turkey. Pray for peace and relief respectively.

Pray for the leadership team here at TRBC. Pray for discernment as decisions are taken.
Pray for those who are elderly and sick in our fellowship. Pray that they receive good and effective medical care and support. Pray also for all their carers.
