Prayer for the Nation

November is a month of Prayer for the Nation, at 6pm each day the Christians across the nation have been united in prayer.

Lord Jesus Christ, In these dark and difficult days we turn our hearts to you. 

In ages past you have delivered our nation from disaster. 

Do it again we pray. 

Give Wisdom beyond human wisdom to our leaders. 

Give strength beyond human strength to the NHS and all our frontline workers. 

Give comfort beyond human comfort to children and the elderly and all who grieve. 

Lord, Jesus Christ. 

In these dark and difficult days, turn your face towards us, have mercy upon us, and heal our land we pray. Amen. 

Loving God, your Son Jesus Christ came that we might have life and have it abundantly; 

pour out your blessing upon our nation; 

where there is illness, bring your healing touch; 

where there is fear, strengthen us with the knowledge of your presence; 

where there is uncertainty, build us up in faith; 

where there is dishonesty, lead us into truth; 

where there is discord, may we know the harmony of your love; 

this we ask in Jesus’ name. 

Amen.

Friday is the day we pray for national and local government:-

We pray for those who are in positions of authority with responsibility for decision making at national and local level at this difficult time. We ask that God would give great wisdom, deep commitment to all and right judgment.

Amen.
