Prayer Room
Day 35 – Holy Monday
We celebrate Holy Week in the anticipation of Christ’s death and resurrection. Pray that throughout this week you will deepen your understanding of the weight of Jesus’ sacrifice for you. Pray for those around you who don’t know Christ. Pray that they will come to know His unconditional love for them, demonstrated by the giving of His life on the cross.

WEEK 7 – HOLY WEEK
Jen Waspe, International Volunteer (UK), shares the prayer focus for this week: Holy Week
As we approach Easter, we pray for Christ to remain firmly the foundation of Hands at Work. We pray for Him to be at the centre of each life, serving and being impacted by our vision.

On Sundays, we pause to anticipate the coming of Easter Sunday and the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
And as they were eating, he took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to them, and said, “Take; this is my body.” And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, and they all drank of it. And he said to them, “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many. Truly, I say to you, I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.” – Mark 14:22-25

Day 34 – Your Relationship with Jesus
“But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me.” – 1 Corinthians 12:9
Today, we encourage you to spend time in relationship with God. Pray that He will give you a deeper understanding of His love for you. Ask God to expose the areas of brokenness in your life that prevent you for surrendering to Him and following His call on your life.

Day 33 – Holy Home Visits
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
– James 1:27
At Hands at Work, the foundation of our care is Holy Home Visits. The core of a home visit is in what Christ has done for us. We visit because Christ visited us first. As the Care Workers visit the most vulnerable children and their families in their homes, pray for these visits to be Holy Spirit led and that the Care Workers will have courage to speak the gospel and the hope that we have in Christ.

Day 32 – Relationship Groups
Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. – Galatians 6:3
Relationship groups are a safe space where people can come together to read the Word of God, share their challenges, encourage and pray with one another. Our desire is to see these groups happening, not only for the people that we serve, but on every level of Hands at Work: from the International Offices, Hub, Regional Support Teams, Local Offices and among Care Workers. Ask God to give people peace and courage as they share their stories, many of whom will be sharing their story for the first time. Pray for these groups to be places where healing and restoration can be found through the love and hope of Jesus Christ. Ask God to give people soft and willing hearts to hear the needs and challenges of the people around them.
