Brexit and beyond
Hello
everyone, and thank you for your continued partnership in praying for the
nation.
The next
few months are pivotal for the nation as Parliament works towards the final
Brexit Bill, and whatever our position on Brexit, we are all aware the next few
months will affect our nation for generations. There are many other issues
which need attention but above all, this is about seeing God’s Kingdom come to
our nation, touching every aspect of our society.
We are
therefore looking at some changes on the pattern and frequency of the
declarations, so that as we continue to look beyond Brexit, to shape the nation
for the next season, we can continue to pray for Brexit itself. Please don’t be
surprised if you see some shorter declarations which are to keep the focus and as
we continue to press in, to see God’s purpose established.
If you
are in the area and able to join us, we would love to see you at any of the
following events all of which focus on The Nation, The Kingdom and the Future!

100 days of Prayer
Day

A
time for war, and a time for peace. Ecclesiastes
3:8 (NIV)
TIME FOR PEACE
The
whole passage from Ecclesiastes 3 gives the contrast between what often is, and
what we would hope it to be. A soldier associated with Scunthorpe United died
on 10 November 1918, one day before the Armistice. For him, time had run out. A
day later and he may have lived. How do we use our time? Is it spent in moaning
or complaining, or is it spent in a positive way, perhaps to the benefit of
others? Are our energies used in the right way? Are we focussed on the inward,
rather than the outward? All these things, used correctly, can bring hope to
other people, and therefore hope for the world – for everything there is a
season.
PRAYER
Lord
Jesus Christ, in this year of anniversary and commemoration, we give thanks for
those who have perished in war; grant that their deaths may not have been in
vain, and that the peoples of the world will have the hope of a better future.
Amen
