Hong Kong Christian Council Prayer Appeal to Churches
On the night of 8 February, 2016 till the morning of 9 February, conflicts between the police and citizens occurred in Mongkok with more than one hundred people injured. Hong Kong experienced a restless Chinese New Year. Because of this, the Justice and Social Concern Committee appeals to churches to pray for the society of Hong Kong that hatred will not spread and violence will not expand. Also, pray that the Lord will move each and every Hong Kong person to work for a more tolerant, caring, just and peaceful society.
Prayer for the Mongkok incident on night on 8 Feb 2016
O Lord, we don’t know how to pray as we ought. But the Holy Spirit does our praying in and for us out of our wordless sighs.8 February was the beginning of the Chinese New Year. But the joy and excitement were shattered when we saw the confrontation between police and citizens resulting in injuries to bodies; and people were overwhelmed by anger and violence.
Lord, have mercy on us.
O Lord, we don’t know how to pray as we ought. But the Holy Spirit does our praying in and for us out of our wordless sighs.New spring marks a beginning. But what we see is unresolved conflict and intensified polarization. People are held captive by the mindset of “friends” or “enemies”. Yet, the fact remains that policemen and citizens alike grow from the same roots. Why is it necessary to attack or hate each other?
Lord, have mercy on us.
O Lord, we don’t know how to pray as we ought. But the Holy Spirit does our praying in and for us out of our wordless sighs.We pray for the healing for all (including citizens, policemen, journalists etc). May God heal them both physically and emotionally. Pray for Hong Kong and that the government sincerely works towards resolving the conflicts and reducing the people’s anger yet not aggravating the divisions. Pray that violence will stop and that people will seek social justice with peace and love.
Lord, have mercy on us. Amen.
