Pray for Brexit
Glorious Father, we thank you for Theresa May and all those who are responsible
for making Brexit happen, and we bless them.
• We ask You to give them each one the Spirit of wisdom and revelation,
so that they may know You better.
• Enlighten the eyes of their hearts, so that they may know
• the hope to which You have called them,
• the riches of Your glorious inheritance in the saints,
• and Your incomparably great power for them because they believe, the
power of the resurrection and the ascension which seated Jesus at Your right
hand where He is above all rule and authority, and power and dominion in this
world, and all things are under His feet.
• Fill each one of them with all the fullness of Jesus in every way
today. We pray these prayers in and through the Name of Jesus. Amen Ephesians 1:17-23

This
means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life
is gone; a new life has begun! 2
Corinthians 5:17 (NLT)
BEAUTY
NOT BROKENNESS
During
World War II, Eva Kor aged 10, was sent to Auschwitz death camp with her twin
sister, Miriam. On arrival, they were immediately taken to the Nazi’s
laboratory. Over time, both girls underwent numerous injections as part of a
greater experiment carried out on twins by Dr Mengele.
Eva
survived, grew up, got married and had children. The experience of Auschwitz
never left her. She carried it with her throughout life. However, after 50
years of bitterness, she finally came to forgive the perpetrators, especially
Mengele.
The act
of forgiveness can be a difficult process and can take time. Jesus commanded
that we do it repeatedly. Why? Because it opens the gateway to receive God’s
healing, restoration and completeness. It clears a way to experience a deep
sense of peace.
‘I felt
such freedom,’ Eva said. ‘I was no longer a tragic prisoner. I was free of
Auschwitz and I was free of Mengele. Forgiveness is the seed of peace.’
Kintsukuroi
is a process of repairing pottery using a gold lacquer. It is understood that
the pot is then even more beautiful for having been broken. This is a great
visual illustration for how forgiveness can be gold in a broken life. Like Eva,
it makes us at peace with the many pieces.
PRAYER
Father
God. I am inspired by Eva’s act of forgiveness. Show me whom, what and where I
need to forgive, so I may have peace in my own life. Strengthen me where I am
weak and soften me where I have grown hard. Make me whole once again. Amen
ACTION
To be
an agent of reconciliation. Look up Eva’s story online. Following her example,
who or what is the one person or thing you need to forgive today to receive
peace? How can you do this? Who can help you?
