Prayer please? 12th April 2012

Hi there,

It's been a few months since we started Paryer For The City Glasgow and it has been an exciting journey of listening to God, and seeing Him answer our prayers for our City and our community.

Each week we send out an email to ministers in Glasgow and others who are linked to our fellowship and we ask for prayer requests.  For whatever reason, we haven't really had many emails back. 

The devil has had a real go at us about this.  Is what we're doing not worth it?  Should we just give up because no one is interested?  or is it worse than that, no one wants to pray??

We have had to fight hard against this, and really seek God and His direction. 

He has protected us from getting sucked into beating ourselves up to the point that we just give up.  We have resolved even more that we are doing what God has called us to do, and that is to pray for our City, and to call Christians throughout the City and beyond to pray - together!

We've had some positive chats over the Easter period with some churches, and we hope that we can further develop these so that more and more of God's people are coming together to pray for Glasgow.

So what do we pray about then?  Well whatever God places on our hearts, and whatever we are asked to pray about. 

We will keep posting the prayer points on this blog, going forward, we will post them on a Wednesday afternoon, and from time to time we will post any additional prayer requests.

If you'd like to get the prayer points on email, then just get in touch and we'll add you to the list.  And if you have anything you want us to pray for then please let us know.

If you are able to we have a prayer space in Anderston Kelvingrove Parish Curch, which is available on Thursday's at 12.30pm to 1.30pm.  If you can't join us, then please pray where you are during these times. 

We will keep being obedient. We will keep fighting on our knees.  Will you join us?

Blessings,
Martyn Bellshaw
