Prayer Requests

PRAY FOR OUR CHURCH (EFCLA)

  • Pray for all the fathers. June 16th is Father’s Day, and we’ll pray for all the fathers in the church. We ask the Lord to grant fathers a compassionate heart toward their children, a compassion that not only meets their physical needs but also nourishes their spiritual lives. May the Lord endow fathers with spiritual authority to help them build their families with God’s word and under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, leading their wives and children. We pray that the Lord blesses each father with good health, healing from illnesses, and strength in their weaknesses. May they share in household chores at home and participate in service at church. Let retired fathers become even greater blessings to their families and the church. Help fathers who are still working to have wisdom and strength, to cast all their burdens on God, and to experience the peace that surpasses all understanding granted by the Lord.
  • Pray for the younger generation. We pray that God will raise up the younger generation to be a set-apart Nazirite generation, who do not complain but speak words that edify others. May they not follow worldly culture or fall into the snare of lust, but choose to be a holy nation. We ask God to lead the youth into their destiny and calling through dreams and visions!
  • Pray for the Sick. Pray that the Lord would heal those who are sick and restore their health and strength.

PRAY FOR THE WORLD

  • Pray for the peace of the Taiwan Strait. We pray that the Lord will be our refuge and shield, our only source of reliance! In the face of the Taiwan Strait situation and the surrounding military exercises, we pray for the Lord’s grace and peace to prevail, reducing the possibility of conflicts and bringing greater peace and stability to the region. May the Lord continue to raise up prayer watchmen everywhere, who will intercede for the peace of the Taiwan Strait. We pray that the enemy will have no opportunity to attack, and that any lies, disputes, and chaos will be stopped.
