2 Chronicles 7:14
14 if my people, who are
called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn
from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their
sin and will heal their land.
Debt
& Wealth
The news every day has another story about debt and the
economic situation. The old adage of the
rich get richer and the poor get poorer seems to be even more relevant today
than ever.
The gap between the rich and the poor is ever widening.
We pray for those that are impacted by debt. We pray that the church is able to respond
positively in a non-judgemental way to help these people.
We pray for Christians who find themselves in
debt. We pray that the yoke that binds
them will be lifted.
We pray for those who are impacted by greed, either in
their desires to want the latest thing, or that they are victims of others
greed. We pray for their freedom from
greed.
We pray that those who are wealthy will see God in
their lives, and respond in sharing their wealth with those less fortunate.
We pray for the leaders of our country who have to make
difficult decisions that impact on the finances of everyone in all walks of
life.
Church
Leaders
We continue to pray for church leaders this week. Every day I realise more and more that our
church leaders have a huge responsibility for leading Church’s in Glasgow. It is so important that we surround them in
prayer.
We pray that church leaders listen to God, and hear
what He is saying to them.
We pray that church leaders act on what God tells them
to do.
We pray that church leaders will work together for the
good of the Kingdom.
We pray that God will protect church leaders from the
attacks of the Devil, both spiritual and physical.
We pray for the health of our church leaders.
We pray for the families of our church leaders, that
God will protect them and keep them safe.
Glasgow
We continue to pray for the City of Glasgow. There is a lot happening in our City at the
moment, and there are many changes taking place.
We pray for the local council elections. We pray that God will have His hand on
these.
We pray for the changing economic situation that is
impacting on all areas of life in the city.
We pray for the issue of homelessness in Glasgow. We pray that the church responds to this in
the way that Jesus would. We pray that
we will reach out and be the hands of Jesus to those impacted by
homelessness. We pray for their safety
and protection.
We pray for the preparations that are taking place for
the 2014 Commenwealth Games. We pray
that the church will serve the city during this period. We pray that we will seek to bring God’s love
to the City and the visitors who will be in the City.
We pray boldly for the light and love of God to shine
in the darkness. We pray that people
will come to know Jesus as their saviour and friend. We pray for God’s Kingdom to reign in and
over the City of Glasgow.
We pray that Glasgow will flourish by the preaching of
the word, and the praising of His name.
Thy
Kingdom Come
We pray that there is a real and tangible moving of the
Spirit in our City.
We claim that God’s Kingdom will Come.
We pray that souls will be won for the Kingdom, and
that we will rejoice with the angels as men and women, boys and girls turn to
God as their saviour.
