Prayers for the Week:
· For those in authority, such as Queen Elizabeth and her representatives; Prime Minister Scott Morrison and members of parliament; Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and state parliamentarians; and Mayor Paul McVeigh and local councillors; that they may not be driven be selfish ambition but service to the people
· For the Church, LCAQD; and those in positions of authority, that they may not be drawn by selfish ambition but that they hear the call of God to serve him and his people
· For the pastors Bishop John Henderson, District Bishop Mark Vainikka; Pastor Joel Pukallus and all pastors; the outreach of the church, that its members may not be motivated by money or numbers but by a yearning to see people saved
· For businesses, that they do not feed off the poor to feed the rich
· For the victims who suffer because of the selfishness of others (including people in third-world countries whose dictators restrict aid to their people, and those under repressive and unjust governments)
