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 it may approach the support of the poor with solutions of healing and not with band-aid decisions
· For the Church, LCAQD; that it may not seek to acquire riches and assets but use the gifts that God has given for his glory and the extension of his kingdom
· For the pastors Bishop John Henderson, District Bishop Mark Vainikka; Pastor Joel Pukallus and all pastors;
· For the people of the church, that they may not seek to accumulate wealth as a form of security but seek God and the promise he gives through Christ our Lord
· For those who are unemployed, that they may find fulfilment and continue to be motivated even in the face of so many knock-backs, and for those whose work-places have uncertain futures, that they may know well in advance if there will be a closure
· For the owners of businesses that have uncertain futures
· For those trapped in the world of gambling
· For those who are homeless, whose income doesn't allow them to acquire the basics of life
