Protect us God

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.

Thy Kingdom Come

We pray that God’s Kingdom comes in Glasgow.  We pray that we see the day of Salvation today.  We pray for the Spirit to move and shake up this City. 

Peace

We simply pray for the peace of God that passes all understanding to descend on our City, the Church and in our hearts.

The Word

We pray that God’s word becomes a reality for our City, and that Justice and Mercy will be evident in all areas of our society.

We pray that Christians in Glasgow will be God colours in their communities.

We pray that the churches will light in their communities.

Matthew 5:13-16 (MSG)

^14-16"Here's another way to put it: You're here to be light, bringing out the God-colours in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We're going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don't think I'm going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I'm putting you on a light stand. Now that I've put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you'll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven.

Olympics

We pray that the Olympics pass peacefully.  We pray for the influence of Christians involved in any way in the Olympics.  We pray that they will be used by God.

A living wage

We pray that all people will be paid a fair wage for the work that they do.

Community

We pray for our communities, that God will reign supreme.  We pray for the community of Anderston that God will be seen in a real and living way.

Church Leaders

We pray for the protection of church leaders in these days. We pray that God will renew their vision, and their spirits.

Glasgow

God bless Glasgow.  God let Glasgow flourish by the preaching of the Word and the praising of Your Name.

Debt & Wealth

God help us as Christians to never get caught up in wanting more and prosperity of our wallets, over wanting more of Christ.  Help us as the Church to be a church of the poor rather than just a church that serves the poor.

Elderly & Vulnerable

We pray protection over the elderly and vulnerable members of our community, we pray that there will be Christians who can serve and minister to those who need our help.

Trafficking, refugees and Asylum seekers

We pray for all the victims of trafficking.  We pray for their safety and their release from bondage.  We pray that refugees and asylum seekers will be made to feel welcome in our communities, and that there will be Christians who are able to get alongside them and befriend them.
