Psalm 2 Federal Election Prayer
My homegroup studied Psalm 2 last night. It is very apt in this season. Especially given the Federal Election coming up.

1 Why do the nations conspire[a]
and the peoples plot in vain?
2 The kings of the earth rise up
and the rulers band together
against the Lord and against his anointed, saying,
3 “Let us break their chains
and throw off their shackles.”

4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
the Lord scoffs at them.
5 He rebukes them in his anger
and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
6 “I have installed my king
on Zion, my holy mountain.”

7 I will proclaim the Lord’s decree:

He said to me, “You are my son;
today I have become your father.
8 Ask me,
and I will make the nations your inheritance,
the ends of the earth your possession.
9 You will break them with a rod of iron[b];
you will dash them to pieces like pottery.”

10 Therefore, you kings, be wise;
be warned, you rulers of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear
and celebrate his rule with trembling.
12 Kiss his son, or he will be angry
and your way will lead to your destruction,
for his wrath can flare up in a moment.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him.


Father God, I pray for the country in the days ahead, that they will choose as You want them to choose. I also pray for Scott Morrison, that he would not give in to the temptations of power. I declare protection for him from the enticements of power in Jesus' Name. Amen

23 September
Prayer - a lady suffering from complications of cancer. Possibly Terminal (within a couple of days). Healing, restoration and Life for her in Jesus' Name!
Also - comfort and peace for her family, especially her husband, at this difficult time.

( Communion and Sermon notes )

A friend of mine hasn't come to Church for over a month, and over a week ago I learned that she was unwell (but no specifics). She still wasn't at Church this morning. So I would like prayer for her that she is healed of the health issues, and that she knows God's peace and presence at this difficult time.
