Prayer by all the Churches on the 31st of May at 12 noon
MAY 31st, India: All the Churches in India are taking action to raise a Prayer of HOPE during this Pandemic. As we struggle through these unprecedented times, we come united as one, believing for a better tomorrow, believing for a COVID-FREE India.
Every church and every denomination in India has decided to join hands to pray for India. We abide by the law of the land, and we bring our voices, our prayers, and ring the church bell to resonate the sound of hope to every corner of our nation, as per the directives in place.
During this time, we lift our prayers before God, for the unsung heroes of our day namely -Doctors, Nurses, Medical professionals, Police and other law and order enforcing personals, grocers, truckers, farmers, those maintaining supply of electricity, water, and other essential services. All these and others, who are on the front lines, need God’s special protection as they serve us.
This is in obedience to what we believe to be God’s word in the Bible that says, “I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession, and thanksgiving be made for everyone – for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives…”
Day of Pentecost is an important day when all the Churches celebrate the descent of the Holy Spirit of God on the 50th Day of the Day of Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. This year the Day of Pentecost will be celebrated on 31st May 2020. It is the day that the Church was formed and is hence a very solemn and important day for the community.
However, all the Churches in India would also dedicate this Day to a time of Prayer for the Country as we come united in these very difficult and trying circumstances.
On May 31st, 2020, At 12 noon
Ring the church bell
Sing the song “How great thou art…”
Pray for the nation wherever you are
Our Father
National Anthem
