Prayer Diary For Week Commencing

Sunday 7th June 2026

​

"They all joined together constantly in prayer, along with the women and

Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers."  

Acts 1: 14 NIV.

 

Please pray for our farmers in this country who are really struggling this year because of increased

fuel prices due to the war in the Persian Gulf.  This is on top of worries about global warming which

have led to some farmers saying that food security is under threat even in this country.

 

Please continue to pray about the ongoing attacks against Lebanon by Israel.  On Monday a partial

peace agreement came into effect between Israel and Lebanon.  This is now under threat because of an

attack on Lebanon on Wednesday which killed at least 9 people.  The Lebanon government has said that

the attack destroyed an ambulance killing 2 paramedics.

 

Please pray that the use of illegal dumps for rubbish in this country will stop.  There are thought to be

about 117 illegal dumps, 28 of which have over 20,000 tonnes of rubbish in each of them.

 

Please pray for all those affected by the serious fire in Delhi in India.  At least 21 people were killed and

many more taken to hospital.  The blocks damaged by the fire were used by families of people that have

come for treatment in India's hospital nearby and therefore many of the deaths were not Indians but

people from other parts of South Asia and Africa.

 

Please continue to pray about the ongoing attacks in the Persian Gulf.  Iran has recently attacked

Kuwait's airport and drones were intercepted on the way to Bahrain.  There is supposed to be a

temporary ceasefire but it is now very fragile after attacks on both sides.  Pray that there will be a

permanent peace agreement that will lead to security in that part of the world, very soon.

 

Please pray for the 3 organisations that are working on vaccinations against the Ebola outbreak in

central Africa.  So far at least 250 people have died.

 

Please pray for everyone who is involved in working on the future of our Circuit and our District.

 

Please pray for the Christians in Oman, No. 38 on the Open Doors at risk list.  This country is on

the south side of the entrance to the Persian Gulf.  Persecution in Oman depends significantly on where

a follower of Jesus is from.  For example, foreigners are largely able to worship freely – as long as they

don't share their faith.  But any converts from Islam can risk significant pressure from their family,

the government and the surrounding community to change their minds.  They can be expelled from their

jobs and homes and face problems with child custody and inheritance.  Foreign-born Muslims

converting to Christianity are primarily controlled by the social environment where they live.

Some may not face heavy persecution, while others will be subject to significant pressure.

The Omani government has continued to deport expatriate Christians accused of encouraging

conversion.  Omani converts from Islam to Christianity and several expatriate Christians have been imprisoned following such accusations in the recent past.

 

Please pray for our preachers who are preaching next Sunday.

Pray for the preparation as well as the service.
