As Your church, we pray for our lukewarm ways. We humbly seek Your forgiveness. May we be enlightened by the light of Your cross and recognize our pride, arrogance, self-centeredness, greed, fear, judgments, and other shortcomings. Forgive me for failing to love as You love and for harboring unforgiveness in my heart when You died to forgive me.
I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,” and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Psalm 32:5 (ESV)
“And I do exhort the People of all Religious Denominations, to assemble in their respective Congregations on that Day, and with true contrition of Heart, to confess their Sins to God, and implore forgiveness through the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ our Saviour.” – Samuel Adams Proclamation for a Day of Fasting and Prayer March 15, 1796

Operation World Pray for Bangladesh : The Bengali, or Shaikh, people (240 million globally) remain the largest unreached people group in the world. Even 200 years after William Carey came as a missionary to the Bengali they still honour his memory, but a breakthrough for the gospel has not come. • Pray for Bengali Muslims. Many follow “folk” Islam (a blend of Sufi Islam, indigenous cultures, and Hinduism). Most have never heard the true gospel. Pray for the few Bengali believers to depend on God in their poverty, to be strong when faced with persecution, and to find community with followers of Christ from different backgrounds. • Pray for Bengali Hindus (201 Hindu groups, of which 188 are unreached), who face violence and persecution as a religious minority.
