Will You not revive us again, That Your people may rejoice in You?
Show us Your mercy, Lord, And grant us Your salvation.

Psalm 85:6-7 

O Lord, I have heard Your speech and was afraid;
O Lord, revive Your work in the midst of the years!
In the midst of the years make it known;
In wrath remember mercy.

Habakkuk 3:2

It is time for intentional intercession and prayer for church and community

• Forgiveness for the unintentional sins of the people
• Many prodigals living in a far country
• Many sheep wandering in the wilderness

Our praying must be specific

• Need to keep crying for souls
• Earnest specific prayer for:
  • Pastors and elders and ministry leaders
  • The spiritual and physical needs in the congregation
  • Hope community trust targets
  • Outreach endeavors into North Canterbury
  • Rangiora High School pupils and teachers
  • Outreach into the NC schools
     
• Pray that we will not be afraid to share our faith, but will boldly proclaim the Lord Jesus Christ and His longing for people to come to Him and follow Him all their lives. Ask God to fill us with the faith to speak what He is saying; not to fear the world, the flesh or the devil, but to overcome through the power of the Holy Spirit and the word of our testimony (that is, what we confess).
• Pray for all who are seeking God and whose hearts are crying out for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit - bringing revival, renewed power, enthusiam for God and what He is doing and wants to do in the world today; Church growth; an increase in righteousness, holiness, love for God and other people; and many, many more people coming onto the Kingdom of God.
