Prayers for Clergy, Deaconesses, Lay Pastors and all Church workers:
o We thank You, Father that Your eyes are upon our shepherd, church leaders and church.
Your ears are attentive to their prayers, and Your face is against those who plot evil against
them (1 Peter 3:12).
o For I know that in all things You work for the good of those who serve and love You
(Romans 8:28). Will You not graciously guide us to possess Your Kingdom for Christ? And
who can accuse our leaders who are daily interceded for by Christ Jesus? (Romans 8:32 -
34). Therefore, in all things we are more than conquerors (Romans 8:37). Thank You
Father!
o Lord, we pray for the favor of the Lord, the authority of the Lord, and the harvest of the Lord
to belong to our Clergy, Deaconesses, Lay Pastors and all Church workers. Teach us to do our part in

pray against all powers of this dark world and the spiritual forces of darkness in heavenly realms. Lord,
protect us as we wage warfare in all levels of worship, prayer and service on behalf of Your servants
who lead us. We bind the evil forces of rebellion, seduction, and presumption from attacking our pastor,
leaders and our church in Jesus name. We cast them down, never more to rise and destroy; We
declare they are under our feet in Jesus name! (newbirth.org)
31st – Saturday
Prayers for Clergy, Deaconesses, Lay Pastors and all Church workers:
Father, we thank You that no weapon formed against our Clergy, Deaconesses, Lay Pastors and all
Church workers will prosper. Every tongue raised against them will be cast down. Rumors and
gossip will be turned aside. We pray that Your presence and peace will keep them, that they will
dwell in the shadow of the Most High God, and will be delivered from terror, darts of doubt, and
diseases (Psalm 91:5,6). Set Your angels about them (Psalm 91:11). No power of the
enemy shall harm them (Luke 10:19). We take authority over evil powers of deception,
intimidation, and destruction. We bind them in Jesus name, and cast them far from our
pastor, our leaders and our church. Father, we pray that Your abundant life would flood and
fill their lives (John 10:10). Thank God forevermore! (newbirth.org)
PRAISE: Alpha and Omega, Beginning and end of all things, Creator, Sustainer, Provider, In your
name we gather, At your feet we bow. Shield and defender, Tower of refuge for the weary, Deliverer,
Redeemer, Forgiver, In your name we worship, At your feet we bow.

- 13 -Dear Friends,
WE ARE CALLED TO PRAY
There is something powerful that takes place when believers agree in prayer according to God’s Word.
His Word is an unbreakable covenant He has with us.
Matthew 18:18-20 is the foundation to our prayer of agreement.
“Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven:
and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree
on earth as touching anything that they shall ask,
it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
For where two or three are gathered together in my name,
there am I in the midst of them.”
Kindly inform others of this Prayer Diary.
Together let us Worship and intercede for our
Diocese and our country Malaysia.
The next issue is for the month AUGUST 2021.
