22.01.2022 DAY 4 #16Days of Activism Against Gender-based Violence. Today we continue to pray for comfort, peace and love to prevail. Thanks Virginia Lavaki for this praye...r. Father God, before we even open our mouths you already know what is in our hearts. We come before you to pray for Women and girls who have experienced violence or are going through it right now. Father God we ask that you wrap your arms around them and let them know that you are with them. Let them know that you love and care for them. Bless these women and girls with the strength, the courage and the hope to keep on pushing forward, even when they want to give up. We uplift these courageous and brave women and girls into your hands for comfort, peace and love. We also pray for your Church Lord, that may we stand firm and speak up on this very sad topic. May we as a Church community and family stand together and be the voice that these women and girls need. Bless us your Church with the courage and the confidence to speak up when needed, but to also show love and support to all victims affected by domestic violence. May our actions be just as strong and loud as our words. Father God, we also pray for the predators. This may be a true test of our faith by praying for those who hurt others around us God, but we just really uplift these people into your mighty hands. We pray that your light will shine upon them and give them a clear mind to help them change their ways. Lord hear our humble cries to you! In your loving and wonderful name we pray, Amen. - Virginia Lavaki

19.01.2022 DAY 2 of #16Days of Activism Against Gender-based Violence. Thank you Rhanee Tsetsakos for this beautiful prayer Dear Arrawatanha, This prayer is for your be...autifully created Yurartu (Aboriginal Woman) and Yudnynartu (Non-Aboriginal Woman) of the world, which includes all the Adnyani (Grandmother), Ngami (Mother), Ngarlami (Big Mother), Wadnami (Little Mother), Yaka (Big Sister), and Yakati (Children). Our prayer is that you keep them protected from violence and harm that they may experience at the hands of others. We pray that if they are experiencing violence and harm from people who are meant to love, care and protect them, that you will place people around them that will be supportive and stand up, speak out and advocate for them and their safety when they do not have the resources, tools or strength to keep themselves safe. We pray that the people who you have placed around them for support are also supported in a way that keeps them safe from violence and harm, and that they are adequately resourced and funded to provide culturally appropriate services that ensure the safety of these women and their children as a high priority. We pray that violence against women comes to an end and that our communities are resourced to be better educated in the prevention of violence against women and the harmful effects that it has on the family unit as a whole. We want our children to be raised on strong healthy homes where they can experience love, kindness and respect towards one another so that we create a culture of a non-violent mindset in our future generations. We pray that Churches around Australia can continue to stand up and speak out about these such injustices, and that they can be more present in the lives of the most vulnerable people people in our communities aho often live on the fringes of society where there is little resources, education, support and services. May the members of the Church be the light and love that this world needs to help in eradicating violence and harm against women once and for all. We also pray for the people who act out these violent and harmful behaviours, that they may remember that they too are part of the greater human family who need love, care and kindness in their lives. May we remember that they too may be part of the people living out on the fringes of society who are most vulnerable. May we be reminded that they too may have experienced violent and harmful behaviours towards them that have damaged their physical, mental, social, emotional and spiritual selves, and that they may need our help in restoring them back to a fuller life filled with love, care and respect for themselves and others. We give all these things to Arrawatanha our Great Creator, and we ask that these prayers may be received and dealt with accordingly in the right time. - Rhanee Tsetsakos

17.01.2022 National Solemn Assembly For the Healing of the Land 26 - 27 September 2020 If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek... my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14 Consecrate a fast; proclaim a solemn assembly! Gather the elders and all the residents of the land to the house of the LORD your God, and cry out to the LORD. Joel 1:14 We invite the people of Australia and other Indigenous Elders to join with us as we seek Gods face according to 2 Chronicles 7:14, and Joel 1:14, 'for the healing of the land'. We have been working towards a National Solemn Assembly for the last nine years. This is the moment we have been waiting for. We are praying for 'times of refreshing' and the 'healing of the land' as the scripture says in Acts 3:19, Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord. The 'times of refreshing' from the presence of the Lord that Peter the Apostle is talking about is the outpouring of the Holy Spirit that is found in Acts 2:1-21 That is what Australia needs. We are praying that Australia will get a revelation of the love of God through Jesus Christ. Matthew 18:20 gives us the key, Where two or three are gathered together in My name there am I in the midst of them. We thank the National Council of Churches Australia and the National Day of Prayer & Fasting and other groups who are helping to facilitate the National Solemn Assembly on behalf of the First Nation People. We encourage you to pray together in your churches, in your homes and on the hills as we lift our nation up before God. Join us as you are able on Zoom between 9AM 9PM any time on both days at meeting room number 776881184: https://zoom.us/j/776881184 Yours for our Nation Ps Peter Walker www.nationaldayofprayer.org.au/Solemn-Assembly

14.01.2022 This Sunday 27 September a panel of UCA speakers will explore the Black Lives Matter movement and how Christian faith shapes our response. Organiser Rev. Tau’al...ofa Anga’aelangi, Tertiary Chaplain at Charles Sturt University, said she hoped to open up space for the hard conversations about racism and truth-telling. "How can we face the truth and history of racial inequality in Australia and instead choose to be good allies, taking a strong stand and continuing conversations to create equality for all?"

12.01.2022 On DAY 5 of #16Days of Activism Against Gender-based Violence, we pray for the voiceless and God's unconditional love. Thank you Nicole Mugford for this prayer.... Protector God, I pray for those people who feel voiceless in their situation. For those who cry out in the dark and stillness of the night. For those who try to cover their scars and mask their pain. Lord, hear their cries. God of Justice, I pray for those who respond and support victims and survivors of violence. I pray for funding and an abundance of support for these critical services. I pray that where there is a need, there will be support. Lord, bring an abundance. Loving God, I pray for those who feel broken and worthless because of the violence they have experienced. For those who struggle to know and receive love in this world. I pray for those who offer love and care to someone after a situation of violence that they can love generously and carefully. Lord, show your unconditional love. God of all people, I pray for people of all cultures, faiths, genders and ages who experience domestic and family violence. I pray that all people experience the inclusion and connection of your love in a world often divided. I pray for relationships, friendship and humanity that crosses these boundaries for genuine inclusion. Lord, join us together in community. Amen - Nicole Mugford

10.01.2022 Today, on the International Day of Peace, we give thanks for our partners working for peace in difficult places around the world. We pray for them + the commun...ities they are serving who face conflict, division, marginalisation and poverty. We pray that God's peace, love, hope, light and joy can reign even in the midst of difficult circumstances. We pray: Lord, make me an instrument of your peace: where there is hatred let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. Amen -St Francis

08.01.2022 When the song of the angels is stilled, When the star in the sky is gone, When the kings and princes are home,... When the shepherds are back with their flock, The work of Christmas begins: To find the lost, To heal the broken, To feed the hungry, To release the prisoner, To rebuild the nations, To bring peace among people, To make music in the heart. (Howard Thurman, 1985)
