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
pray for the ministry of The Salvation Army in Anderston. We pray for health and strength for all the
corps in the next two weeks as the Christmas period gets busier, and we strive
to meet the needs of our community. We
give thanks for the provision of food for our boxing day meal. We give thanks for the provision of toys for
our toy appeal. We give thanks for the
generosity of the people of Glasgow as we have been out Christmas carolling. We pray that the conversations we have had

that God will provide.

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 give the glory to God for
victory we had last Sunday in this area.
We continue to claim the victory we have in Christ.
We
pray for the Night Shelter in Glasgow.
We give thanks that some of the churches and Christian organisations
have stepped up to the plate to provide a safe haven and sanctuary for the
homeless of the City. We pray for
protection and grace in abundance for the staff and users of this service. We pray that as their physical needs are met,
the users of the shelter will also have their spiritual needs met, and that the
shelter is more than a bed for the night, but a place that brings hope and
love, and is a place where men and women will find God as their saviour, and
lives will be transformed.
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.
