18th Oct - Keep Praying


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.

 

City Centre

We pray for the City Centre of Glasgow.  We pray for forgiveness for those who took part in the rioting last week.  We pray that they will know God and mans mercy and grace in these days.  We pray for the peace of the Spirit to be upon our city streets.  We pray for protection for the emergency services who serve our city.  We pray for the businesses in our city centre, that they will respond to the growing needs and social issues in our city in a positive way.  We pray for Christians who work in the City Centre, that they will be protected from attack.  We pray that they will be positive role models to their colleagues, and also that they will be ministers of grace and love.

 

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. We pray for wisdom and guidance for the politicians in our country who are attempting to bring new legislation into being to protect victims of trafficking.  We pray that there will be support across all groups to fight this and that the church will have a strong voice in the consultation.

 

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 for the day of Salvation – today.

 

We pray that Glasgow will once again flourish by the preaching of the Word, and the praising of His name.

 

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.

 

Community

We pray for the communities in the city of Glasgow.  We pray that churches will work together to bring hope and light.  We pray for the power of the Spirit to be upon our churches and that they will be a place from where communities can be served, and from where we can go out and be Jesus in our communities.
