PRAYERS

The Collect for 4th Sunday of Easter

Almighty God, whose Son Jesus Christ is the resurrection and the life of all who put their trust in him: raise us, we pray, from the death of sin to the life of righteousness; that we may seek the things which are above, where he reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
 

Prayers for this week:
Church
  • Give thanks to God that our Province and Diocese is committed to upholding the faith and teaching biblical truth.
  • Pray for Archbishop Titus and the leaders of all parishes as we make disciples of all nations and care for the flock with the love of Jesus.
  • Pray for all deaneries, especially our own work in Cambodia. Lift up our sister Constance and her team in the language centre and Revd Chan Phy and the pastoral team in church work. May the Lord add more teachers!
World
  • Give thanks to God that no lives were lost in Iran’s attack on Israel and that Israel has held back with her response. May the Lord continue to speak peace to all leaders involved and bring to justice those who do evil.
  • Continue to pray for peace in Ukraine, Israel and Gaza, Sudan and Syria. May the Lord have mercy on those who are suffering and reveal his love to them. Pray that those in need of aid will be satisfied.
  • Give thanks to God for our nation Singapore. May the Lord continue to watch over our nation, protect us from harm and build us up in compassion, even for our neighbors.
  • Pray that the youth and young adults in Singapore will receive understanding, love and support in the ‘real’ world so that they don’t look for it in the virtual world.
St Hilda’s Church
  • Give thanks to God for one salvation at last week’s Alpha Holy Spirit weekend. Several other candidates were touched by the Spirit. Pray that he who began the good work will be faithful to complete it.
  • Pray for our clergy, pastorate, staff, and lay leaders as we share the love of Jesus, even with those in hospital and the homebound.
  • Pray for all preparations for AGM, and for our AGM next Sunday that we will be united as a body of Christ.
  • Pray for all who suffer in body, mind, and spirit, the homebound and the bereaved. May they know God’s loving presence and his healing power in the lives. May God strengthen us in our care for them.
