As the United Kingdom faces the aftermath of the decision to leave the European Union, let us as believers, regardless of our reaction to this outcome, commit our nation’s future before the Lord.
Please pray for:
1. The Church
- Pray that God’s people would rise to the challenge of being the church wherever we are.
- Pray that the church would model unity and healing, both within the Church body and in wider society.
- Pray that God’s people would cry out to Him in prayer at this time of unrest, that He would restore peace and reconciliation.
- Pray that as believers, we would place our hope not in politicians but in Jesus Christ alone, and minister this hope to those around us by proclaiming the good news of the gospel.
2. The Government.
- Pray for all the political parties: in particular, for the Conservative party as it elects a new Prime Minister, who will then form a new government, and for the incoming Prime Minister’s policies and strategy; for the Labour party which may also be electing a new leader in the foreseeable future, and for them to be the most effective opposition they can be.
- Pray that the government will show good conduct and integrity during the upcoming negotiations to exit the EU, seek to maintain good relationships with Europe, and to move forward in a manner that promotes Godly laws, and will help countries throughout Europe to flourish.
3. The UK
- Pray for peace and healing to be brought to a divided nation, so that we may all come to a full acceptance of this outcome and move forward in a godly optimism and unity, rather than fear and bitterness.
- Pray for God’s mercy to be poured out on the UK and that His good plans and purposes would be accomplished.
- Pray that we as a nation would love our neighbour, whether that be within or beyond our borders.
4. The EU
- Pray for Christians throughout Europe, but particularly in Britain, to lift up those countries remaining in the EU, for their leaders to pursue policies that would enable their people to flourish.
- Pray for the leaders of the EU as they also consider how to move forward. Pray that they would be given wisdom and strength throughout all the necessary decision-making.
