Sunday 30 August 2026

Prayer for the World.  Pray that God would bring peace to nations affected by war and conflict, and give wisdom to world leaders.

Nepal Flood and Landslide Disaster.  Pray that God will comfort those who have lost loved ones, strengthen those still waiting for news, and give wisdom and protection to those involved in the rescue and relief efforts.

Prayer for Our Church. Pray that God would strengthen our church, deepen our hunger for Him, and make us a light in our community.

Sometimes our hearts are divided without us even noticing. We can spend Sunday singing about surrender, and by Monday we are anxious about things we said we had placed in God’s hands. We can say that God is enough, yet still find ourselves constantly chasing the approval, success, comfort, and distractions that the world offers. We can pray, “Lord, I trust You,” while still holding tightly to our own plans because we are afraid of what might happen if we truly let go. Maybe today God is simply asking us: “Will you trust Me with all of it?”

Not just the parts that are easy to surrender, but the plans, the worries, the relationships, the future, and the things we secretly struggle to release.

Psalm 86:11 gives us a beautiful prayer:

“Give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name.”

Lord, give us hearts that are not pulled in two directions. Help us to choose You again and again, until our trust in You is greater than our desire to control what happens next.
