Prayer Pointers 6 October 2022
Are we all stressed up and looking for refuge?
“The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; he knows those who take refuge in him”, -Nahum 1:7, ESV
As we are reaching the end of our academic semester, it is crunch time for students to submit assignments, and faculty and staff to meet deadlines. How do we pray for them?

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God”. Matthew 5:9 – ESV
Are you trading insults for insults when provoked or do you practise the meekness and gentleness of Christ, imitating His peaceful nature, to win others to salvation?
Praise God:
– That we have our Abba father whom we can worship and pray to in our time of distress, His love and peace comforts us and turns us into peacemakers.
Pray for:
– Ourselves that God’s divine peace helps us turn distress into prayer and fear into faith that we can anchor in Him to face whatever assails us.
– EAST community to be peacemakers, to bring good news to others and be a blessing to all wherever we go

Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?” – Galatians 3:3 -ESV
Having been born of the Spirit, are you walking in the Spirit? Or are you still pivoting on your own effort that is not born of the Spirit?
Praise God:
– That our new life in Christ begins and continues in the power of the Holy Spirit which our Lord freely bestows upon us.
Pray for:
– God to stir within us an insatiable hunger for Christ, an intense thirst to be continually filled with His Spirit.
– All at EAST to have a deep longing to be constantly harnessed, directed, and empowered by the Spirit as a way of life in the EAST community.

“Bless the Lord, all his hosts, His ministers, who do his will”. – Psalm 103:21 ESV
Do you hear from God? Are you doing His will in obedience?
Praise God:
– That He has sent our graduates of 2022 to be ministers in our local churches and also to their sending churches overseas. Yet for others He has chosen them to be further equipped for their future ministry.
Pray for:
– All those whom He called for His purpose to harken to His voice and to serve faithfully in submission.
– His ministers, EAST graduates of 2022 to start their ministries with joyful obedience and in complete humility to glorify Him.

“Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.” – Matthew 6:8, ESV
Do you need a helping hand in life and are you seeking from the right source? Have you forgotten that you have a heavenly Father?
Praise God:
– That our heavenly Father loves us with unconditional and everlasting love, knows our needs even before we ask of Him.
Pray for:
– All at EAST to recognise, receive and be comforted by His love; to rest in Him, and to follow His guidance fearlessly as He leads us in the way forward.
– EAST community (with new friends joining this semester) to fellowship with and inspire one another, and worship God together.
