April Prayer Points
Airdrie
- Give thanks for the induction of Rev. Andrew McMillan on the 9th March. Give thanks that the McMillan’s house has sold in Inverness, and pray for them as they look for a house to buy here.
- Pray for the upcoming congregational Big Event at the end of the month, where we will be video calling the RP minister in Chile. Pray that this would be a good time of fellowship and learning more about the global RP Church.
- Give Thanks to the Lord for the many blessings that the members and those associated with Airdrie RP have received from the Lord over the last 12 months. Please pray that all in the church family will continue to love one another with the sacrificial love of Christ. May they do so whilst maintaining the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Christ’s Church and Kingdom…Pray for the well-being of His Church in Scotland and throughout the world in all aspects of its life. Pray that the Lord would pour His Spirit on the Church in a fresh and powerful way – that God would bless His people in a unique way through the means that are uniquely available in His church – the means of grace (Word, Sacrament and Prayer). Pray that all churches and Bible believing Christians the world over would repent and open their eyes once again to the majesty and greatness of God and His glory! Pray for God to bestow a spiritual hunger in His people in Airdrie and indeed all of His people and draw them to fervent intercession.- Pray that the Holy Spirit would work in all of us and that the Lord would do as He wills to make us more effective ambassadors for His kingdom.
- Pray for a dark and fallen world …that Almighty God will work on a massive scale every Lord’s Day, shining the light of the gospel and drawing many all over the world into the kingdom. Pray that God will pour out His Spirit like a mighty purifying flood.
- Please pray for the work of the gospel in the church and in all the various outreach that is going on. Pray that there would be fruit that would remain. Pray for the Preaching week to week, and all the people we have contact with in all their various life situations. Pray for God’s Spirit to work mightily infringing the salvation of souls. Pray that the congregation might wait patiently upon the Lord in all things. Pray for faithfulness in our evangelism and that would not neglect this call to go forth and make disciples, as it is the foundation for everything else, we do right now and in the future. We are aware that we need to keep sharing the good news about Jesus within our relationship networks (friends, colleagues, neighbours, family) Pray that we would not be disheartened but rather made bold by the spirit of Christ that is in us.
