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
city of Glasgow, that God moves in all His power and majesty, and the people
of Glasgow will humble themselves and turn from their wicked ways and that
we will see our city healed and restored.
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
protection for the corps (church) from the attacks of the evil one. We
claim the victory that is ours in Christ, that we will be bold in our
vision, and even bolder in our faith that God will provide.
We pray for souls
to be won for the kingdom, in the community of Anderston.
We pray for the
physical health of our fellowship, that God will send his healing power upon
us.
We pray for our children’s
work, and that we will see this continue to grow, and see new children come to
our clubs, and that they will be won for the kingdom.
We pray for Sarah
as she works in Anderston Primary School as a chaplain. We pray that there are opportunities to
minister the gospel to the staff and pupils.
We pray for the success and growth of Sarah’s school choir, that more
children will want to join this.
We pray for Matt and
for blessings on his work in the Lifehouses (Hostels), and that he is used to
lead people to Christ. We give thanks
for all the conversations about faith that Matt is having in these days, and
pray God’s spirit to be in those, and moving in powerful ways.
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 thank God for the opportunities of ministry
between Glasgow City Centre Corps and the Salvation
Army Lifehouses (Hostels). We
pray that we will be open to the leading of the Spirit in being bold for the
Gospel. We pray that the church works
together to support those impacted by homelessness and gives them a voice to
speak out.
We pray for our
Christian brothers and sisters in Anderston Kelvingrove Parish Church. We pray particularly for their ministry with
the elderly of our community. We pray
for their ministry in the local sheltered housing complex, that God will bless
this and that people will be saved through this. We pray for the ministry of the Curam Centre
Lunch Club each week. We give thanks for
the volunteers and staff who continue to work hard for the sake of others. May God bless them all richly. We pray for the Afternoon Tea Club recently
started, and pray for God’s hand to be upon this, and this is will be another
opportunity to share the love of God with our community. We pray for the night shelter for Asylum
seekers. We pray for the impact that
this has in our local community. We pray
for the community meeting coming up in June that Jesus will be at the centre of
this. We pray that in all they do, they
will be directed by the Spirit.
We pray
that Christians in Glasgow will be bold in their proclamation of the
gospel, and the name of Jesus. We pray that they will have a Holy courage
in not just showing their faith, but in speaking about it too.
Lord, there are many hurting people across our city
and the world. May you fill them with your love, show compassion, give
peace and bring comfort in their time of need.

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.
