Pray. Now.

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.

 

We ask God to protect the Church in the City of Glasgow.

We pray that we see men and women, boys and girls enter into a relationship with Jesus as their saviour.

We pray for the building project, that the decisions that need to be taken are taken soon, and that building can commence as quickly as possible.

We pray for the community of Anderston, that God will continue to use The Salvation Army in ministry and in reaching out to our community.

We pray for souls to be won for the kingdom, in the community of Anderston. 

We pray for those in our community who are being brought under the influence of the spiritualist movement.   We pray that the light of God will shine brightly in their lives and hearts, and that they will be protected from the lies of the devil, and that they will know the truth of the love of God in their lives.  We pray for opportunities to be able to speak the gospel directly in their lives. 

 

We pray for the work with the homeless and vulnerable in Glasgow.  We pray that God will bless those who minister to the homeless.  Grant them grace, mercy and love, and give them a renewed strength and hope as they minister God’s love to those that they meet.

We pray for Matt as he ministers as chaplain to two of The Salvation Army lifehouse’s (hostels) in Glasgow.  We pray for kingdom opportunities, to speak about the love of Jesus, and that we see people come to know Christ for themselves in our centres.

 

God, thank you for taking the time to listen to our prayers.  Thank you for taking the time to answer them.  We pray that we will always seek your heart, and listen to your voice in our prayers.  Empower us by Your Spirit Lord, that we will pray without ceasing.  Protect us Father from becoming discouraged, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, because this is your kingdom, and for your glory and honour.

Amen.
