~PRAY FOR SLOVENIA~
(Listed 7-5-2010)
Its [Slovenia’s] economy shrank 7.8 percent last year and a further
1.2 percent year-on-year in the first quarter. The government now
expects growth of just 0.6 percent for the whole of 2010 and the
resulting lower tax revenues have forced [Prime Minister] Pahor's
cabinet to revise its budget plans. The planned measures have
encountered strong opposition from trade unions, pensioners and
students, while further mass protests are expected in the coming
months if the government goes ahead with the measures.
In light of the above news, let us pray:
1. That the economy of Slovenia would not fall but stand in the mist
of present hard times.
2. That wisdom would be given to Prime Minister Pahor and his
cabinet as to what should be done. Pharaoh had a Joseph, may
PM Pahor have a Joseph also.
3. If protest erupt, may they be peaceful and not of a violent nature.
May the hurting be heard and the radicals be silenced.
Maribor, 3 July (STA) - Daily Vecer says in Saturday's commentary
that Slovenia is still far from being a modern democratic society as
the gay parade, which takes places today in Ljubljana, is still a
burning social and political topic.
4. We thank the Lord that “Slovenia is still far from being a modern
democratic society” in regards to homosexuals on display. Lord,
we pray for the moral climate of Slovenia. May the people be
repulsed by sin in their mist. May there be a rightful shame showed
toward homosexuals and an encouragement to change.
5. 1 Peter 4:17
For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God;
and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do
not obey the gospel of God? We pray for heart-felt repentance in
the churches.
6. We pray that the churches in Slovenia would denounce sin,
teach how God offers forgiveness and how to walk in the blessings
of the Lord.
7. Another issue in Slovenia and other parts of the Balkans is
people cheating on their jobs. This is a financial drain also in that
productive is minimized. Pray that Christians would set an example
of diligence at work and therefore reap the blessings.
8. Lord, we pray for a move of the Holy Spirit in the churches of
Slovenia. Lord, visit your people with signs and wonders. Lord,
show unmistakable signs of Your omnipresence.
9. Lord, as Your Spirit is poured out and people come to
repentance, give wisdom to the pastors and teachers to care for
the new saints.
10. Lord, we just trust Your faithfulness to touch Slovenia in a
special way this week and for evermore.
DATED PRAYER NEED: [Rob from Texas] I am leading the next
team of missionaries to Bijelo Polje [Montenegro] this week. I
found your prayer request for our work and it was a great
encouragement to us. We will be presenting the Gospel of Jesus
Christ publicly on Tuesday night, July 6. Our prayer is that the truth
of Jesus will be revealed. That God's salvation power will be
released in Bijelo Polje and across Montenegro. Thank you for
your prayerful support. May God richly bless you and your efforts to
spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ in all the Balkans.
