China

Pray for peaceful international relationships with China, especially between their near neighbours and other world powers. Pray for good communication lines and wisdom in diplomacy.

USA

With much stress continuing around the debt ceiling, and with the ramifications of these decisions capable of impacting much of the world, pray for great wisdom and discernment for the leaders to make good decisions.

Nations in conflict

We continue to pray for peace across the world in Ukraine, in Kosovo, in Sudan, the DR Congo and any other places in turmoil. Pray for the Holy Spirit to do a mighty work of humbling and restraining those who would seek to make war.

National and local

Pray that as a nation we will be good stewards of the land and natural resources.

Pray for our emergency services working at the frontline of crises and in stressful circumstances.

As the different positions around the Voice Referendum begin to go public, pray for people to engage respectfully and that this process would in fact bring greater reconciliation in our nation.

Pray for all levels of government to lead with integrity and wisdom, and to use the many resources we have for the good of all people. This week we focus on the federal level and pray for the Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and our local member Lisa Chesters as well as all members of federal parliament.
