I saw someone ask for prayer for New York state so I thought why not pray for a nation..
Particular prayer points for Australia are:
For most people the standard of living in Australia is high and their culture can be very laid back and focused on making money and making yourself happy. More and more Australians claim to be of 'no religion'. The church needs to understand this 'post-modern' society in Australia and reach out to generations who increasingly see God as irrelevant.
The Australian Aborigines have been oppressed by Western culture for over 200 years. Some are Christians but there is still a need for reconciliation between black and white Australians. Despite efforts by the Rudd government for reconciliation there is a lot of hurt in communities and families. Pray for organisations reaching out to these people and that they can express their Christian faith without losing their cultural identity.
Pray for those in Australia who have had less opportunity to hear about God: the Muslim communities, those in isolated rural areas and immigrants. Pray for effective communication, especially where many do not speak English as a first language.
Pray for rain in Australia as we are experiencing droughts across the country and insufficient amounts of rainfall overall.
If you are from Australia and would like to add to the prayer points please inform me thanks.
