Pray for Britain
Ps. 23:1 The Lord is my Shepherd— Jehovah-Rohi
God my Shepherd
Jehovah-Rohi is the Good Shepherd who knows His own sheep
by name (John 10:11).We thank You Father
God for being our Father. We pray for Theresa May to know You as her shepherd
to guide her through all the decisions she has to make as Prime Minister of
this Nation.
Ps. 23:2 I shall lack nothing— Jehovah-Jireh The
Lord my Provider
Jehovah-Jireh, "Give
us this day our daily bread (Mat. 6: 11)," We pray for
Your Financial provision for Britain through all the changes taking place at
this time.
Ps. 23:3 He makes me lie down in green
pastures. He leads me beside quiet waters—Jehovah-Shalom God my Peace
We pray for all those worrying about the future because of Brexit and we
ask You Jehovah-Shalom to calm all fear, doubt, worry, inadequacy, and anxiety
with peace in their heart.
Ps. 23:4 He restores my soul—
Jehovah-Rapha The Lord my Healer
We pray Jehovah-Rapha that
You would heal the hurts, bitterness, control, judgments, differences,
separation, wrong priorities, apathy, etc., of all those who are actively
opposing Brexit.
Ps. 23:5 He guides me in paths of righteousness—Jehovah-Tsidkenu
The Lord my Righteousness
Jehovah-Tsidkenu declares us to be righteous, not for
what we have done, but because of His perfect righteousness. We pray for
salvation for all who have not received Jesus as God's perfect sacrifice for
their sin.
6. For His name's sake— Jehovah-M'Kaddesh The
Lord who makes you holy.
Jehovah-M'Kaddesh says, "I the Lord alone am holy, and I make
you holy because you are called by My holy name." We pray Your Kingdom
come Your will be done for everyone in the UK and ask that they will bring glory
and honour to Your name. Amen
100 days of Prayer
Day 43
Rise up, O judge of the earth; repay to the
proud what they deserve! O Lord... how long shall the wicked exult? Psalm 94:2-4 (ESV)
PERSEVERING PRAYER
The
psalmist’s cry resonates: ‘O Lord! How long?’ Over the 25 years I have been a
pastor I have prayed this prayer with many people crying out to God for
breakthrough. It must also have been the cry of those who prayed for peace
during the First World War. Waiting takes its toll. We hold on to a word or a
promise from God, but as time passes, and there is no manifestation of the
promise, we grow weary. I am certain the prophet Elijah was there too when he
prayed for rain after three years of drought. Six times his hopes were dashed.
Six times he was invited to question whether he had indeed heard God. Six times
he would have had to quell the doubts rising in his heart. He stayed on his
knees. He refused to let hope die. He continued to pray. He asked the servant
to go back and check for the seventh time. And the seventh time was different.
There was a change in the natural circumstances that signalled that the answer
was on its way. A cloud as small as a man’s hand was rising out of the sea. I
can almost hear the prophet’s voice strong and resolute as he gave his
instructions: ‘Go down before the
rain stops you’
(1 Kings 18:44).
PRAYER
Heavenly
Father, as we pray for revival in our nation we cry out to you, ‘O Lord! How
long?’ Pour out your love on our land, and help us to persevere in prayer, we
pray in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen
