- Pray for Jakarta, Indonesia.
Jakarta, Indonesia’s Post capital, mourns the loss of twenty-two office workers who lost their lives due to a building fire. Following recent flooding, which killed over nine hundred people on Sumatra Island, with many still missing, leaves Indonesia filled with sorrow. Fire fighters worked to get people to safety as they battled the blaze. Workplace safety features are being investigated. Pray for those who lost loved ones, for those injured, and for those performing rescues.
Matthew 5:4 – “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.”
- Pray for Thailand and Cambodia.
Age old disputes over territorial claims resulted in a deadly clash on the Thailand – Cambodia border. Thousands of residents have left the border villages on both sides. Thailand has stated they will do what they must to protect its sovereignty. Schools and churches are closed to protect people from attacks. Christians are providing aid to displaced families. Pray for this dispute to be settled and attacks to end.
Matthew 5:9 – “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.”
- Pray for Pretoria, South Africa.
A mass shooting in Pretoria left twelve people dead and others wounded. The attack occurred in an illegal bar; authorities are searching for suspects. There is no clear motive for the shootings, but the area has a history of gang activity, illegal mining networks, and high crime levels. Pray for the families of those who lost loved ones and pray for the Holy Spirit to fall in Pretoria and end violent activity.
Psalm 92:5-8 – “How great are your works, O Lord, how profound your thoughts! The senseless man does not know, fools do not understand, that though the wicked spring up like grass and all evildoers flourish, they will be forever destroyed. But you, O Lord, are exalted forever.”
- Pray for Nigeria.
One hundred of the Nigerian students that were kidnapped from a Catholic school in an Islamic attack have been rescued. One hundred and sixty-five are still missing. Pray for the safety of those still missing and pray for Christians as it becomes more dangerous for them to reside in Nigeria.
Matthew 19:14 – “Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
- Continue prayers for Ukraine.
As the war continues, the United States and its European allies are conflicted on how to end this war. Meanwhile, Ukraine if losing military aid and facing an uncertain future. Pray for peace between Ukraine and Russia.
Isaiah 2:4 – “He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore.”
As we prepare to celebrate Christmas and the birth of our Savior, many find themselves rushing through the season and missing what is most important, Jesus.
Take time to Be Still before Him and praise God for sending his Son to save us.
Psalm 46:10 – “Be still, and know that I am God, I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”
Isaiah 9:6 – “For unto us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
