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.
School Children
We
pray for all children who are starting school this week. We pray for their protection. We pray that God will give wisdom,
understanding and patience to the teachers and school staff. We pray that the schools in our communities
will be places of safety, fun and learning.
We pray for Christian teachers, that they will be strong and bold in
their faith, and that they will demonstrate the love of Christ through their
actions and words. We pray for good
links between schools and churches. We
pray for all the Christian clubs that meet in schools, that as they start up,
more children will be interesting in finding more about God’s love for them.
Human Trafficking
We
pray for the victims of this horrific crime.
We pray for an end to the day when this is still in our society. We pray for healing for the victims. We pray for restoration of families. We pray forgiveness and justice for the
perpetrators of these crimes. We pray
for Christians at the frontline of fighting this, that they will be protected
by the Spirit, that they will be filled with grace, mercy and compassion. We claim the victory over the evil one in
this issue.
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. We boldly pray for more souls
to be saved, and that more will come to know the love of God and that they will
recognise their need for Christ as their Saviour. God we cry out to you for revival in our
City. We cry out to you for revival –
today.
We
pray that Glasgow will once again flourish by the preaching of the Word, and
the praising of His name.
Anderston
We
pray for the community of Anderston. We
pray that as the churches in the community continue to work together for the
Kingdom, we will see a transformation take place in the lives of those who live
in this community. We pray for a unity
amongst the churches. We pray for a
shared vision to see God’s kingdom come, for justice and mercy to reign and for
the love of God to flood the hearts and minds of the people in our community. We pray for the day of Salvation in
Anderston, and we pray that we see that today.
Unemployment & The Economy
We
pray for those who have recently lost their jobs. We pray for those who have been out of work
for some time, and are struggling to be positive in these days. We pray for a renewal of their spirit. We pray for the economic situation in our
City. We pray that the Church will
respond to the needs of the poorest and most affected by the worsening economic
situation. 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.
We
pray that the imbalance of wealth and poverty will be removed. We pray that those in the church in Glasgow
who have been blessed with wealth will use this wisely and in line with the
will of God, and ensure that this is used for Kingdom building, and meeting the
needs of our City and community.
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. We pray that in our community
of Anderston we will be able to engage more with the elderly and vulnerable in
our community and share with them the amazing truth that God loves them just as
they are.
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 churches will be
light in their communities.
A living wage
We
pray that all people will be paid a fair wage for the work that they do. We pray that Christian businesses and
Christian’s who can influence these decisions will lead the way in this area in
this City, and across Scotland. We pray
that the leaders of the churches in Glasgow will take the lead in this and that
those who work for the church will all be paid a fair an living wage.
Church
We pray
for the Church in Glasgow. We pray that
it will unite in our Faith in Christ, and that we will not be divided by our
differences. We pray that the Spirit of
God will empower the churches of Glasgow to make a difference in their
communities. We pray that God’s name
will be glorified by and through, all that we do in His name. We pray for forgiveness for our inaction as
the church. We pray that we will
demonstrate the love our Christ to our City.
We pray that there will be a boldness is speaking the word of God. We pray that we will stop getting caught up
in strategy but allow the freedom of the Spirit to direct us, and when we have
heard him speak, that we will be moved to action. Shake the church in Glasgow from its slumber
God. Break the shackles that have bound
us for so long. Take us to a new
place. Let us see your power at work in
our churches and in our cities. Let us
see your power at work in our lives.
