  • Pray that God’s throne will rule over every aspect of  the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and that He will protect the tripartite being of all the saints affected by it so that His kingdom would expand in Russia, Ukraine, and throughout Europe.

National

  • Pray that the Lord will be glorified in these two graduations as the trainees bear witness to what the Lord has wrought in them through the entire course of their training.

  • Pray that the young people in the church will have a healthy and godly home environment and will have someone with whom to read the Bible on a daily basis.

  • Pray that the young people will come to the young people’s meeting, participate in the small groups, have spiritual companions among their peers, and also have definite older ones to shepherd them. 

  • Pray that the saints will pray back to the Lord the word spoken to the church in this week’s corporate Lord’s Day meeting, so that they fully digest it and give it thoroughfare in their being.

  • Pray that the saints will receive the burden of this speaking and allow the Lord to work in them to produce them as shepherds, so that all the sheep of the Lord’s flock in Irvine will be well cared for.

The above are some of the current prayer burdens that the saints may bring to the Lord in their personal or corporate prayer; however, the saints should be exercised to follow the leading of the Spirit in their prayer.
