Pray for Parliament
God keeps bringing us back to Joel 2 “Rend your
hearts and not your garments, return to the Lord your God.” It is time to
turn – this is a very serious moment for God’s people and our nation. God is
highlighting Psalm 23 as a prayer tool. Let us meditate on it and let it
grip our hearts.
The Lord is my Shepherd— Jehovah-Rohi: God my
Shepherd Ps.23:1. In the corridors of
Westminster, in the meeting rooms and in the House of Commons you are Jehovah
Rohi God our Shepherd – and there is no
other. We lift up your Name.
Jehovah-Tsidkenu: The Lord our Righteousness, we cry out to you - guide our
nation to the right paths. Ps.23:5
Even though I walk through the valley of the
shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me—
Jehovah-Shammah: God who is there deliver us from lies, confusion, hatred, and pride. Ps.23:7
We love Your promise that
goodness and mercy will follow us all our days - let our nation turn to You,
for mercy and guidance – and may we see Your goodness. Ps.23:6
*A
history of the Hebrides revival reports, “In November 1949, two old women, one
of them 84 years of age and the other 82 were greatly burdened because of the
appalling state of their own parish. Not a single young person attended public
worship or went to the church. Those two women were greatly concerned and, as
they made it a matter of prayer, a verse gripped them: “I will pour water on him that is thirsty and floods upon the dry
ground.” Isaiah 44:3”. This was the trigger for an extraordinary move
of God – two old ladies stirred to pray for significant change in their
village. God’s response was to pour out His spirit in an extraordinary way. We
gladly take their example and ask God to stir us to pray now, with focus and
passion. [World Prayer Centre modified]

Jesus, we pray for an end to the falsehood and 'fake news'
that corrupts our national life. Instead, may your 'spirit of truth' transform
this land. Amen.
Please pray and share with your
intercessors, Bible Study Groups, Prayer Groups, Church Prayers, Men &
Women’s Groups. Thank you.
