Daily Devotions – October Prayer & Fasting for Rain
Join together with Christian leaders and churches of all denominations from all over Australia, as we Pray and Fast for Australia from 1 – 31 October 2019.
Every state in Australia has encountered some level of drought over the last several years.
This period of unified interdenominational Prayer and Fasting has been inspired by the Catholic Church’s call for Prayer and Fasting for Marriage & Family for the month of October every year for the last three years.
We believe we have an opportunity to build on this record of unified prayer, and increase the level of prayer across Australia.
The team at the Canberra Declaration will coordinate daily digital devotions (See them below) from National Church leaders during October, including Aboriginal Christian leaders. FOR DAILY DEVOTIONS REGISTER HERE.
Australia has a desperate need for RAIN, but we have an even more desperate need for God.
We pray that as we get down on our knees to pray for RAIN in October, that God will give us the grace of REPENTANCE and the RENEWAL of our love for our Father in Heaven. (2 Chronicles 7:14)
