Beautiful Britain No 1
ROMANS 9
I am speaking the truth in Christ—I am not lying; my conscience bears me witness in the Holy Spirit— 2 that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. 3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers,[a] my kinsmen according to the flesh.
NEHEMIAH 1
3 And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire.
4 And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven,
5 And said, I beseech thee, O Lord God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his commandments:
6 Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both I and my father’s house have sinned.
Why should you pray for the UK?
It’s just a little island, surely, its too small to be concerned about?
LETS JOIN IN DAILY PRAYER
COUNTRY AND CHURCH
Sunday
Britain has a long and glorious history, but time seems to have caught up with this country.
It is a pale imitation of what it once was, all is not well with the country.,
National repentance is needed, a thorough cleansing of the church, must take place.
Please pray for this.
MONDAY
The present government is not a friend of Christianity, it bows down to special interest groups, please pray for the members of local, national and regional government, who serve Christ.
It has brought into law, things to help assisted dying etc.
Tuesday
Please pray for King Charles, a very confused man, who has recently met with the pope, he thinks all religions lead to God. Please pray for the monarchy, that God would break into this family.
I went back to the UK in 2024 after nine years away, I saw a country broken and divided, one that had lost it’s identity.
Please pray that the church would arise in boldness.
Thank God for the growing churches in the UK, especially amongst Chinese and African peoples.
People complain that there are too many immigrants, when in reality, this is an open door for the gospel. Please pray the church would reach out.
Wednesday
One hundred years ago, the British empire covered a quarter of the world, but this is now largely discredited,
Please pray that there would be national repentance about the hurt caused by the actions of previous generations.
Thursday
The established church is spilt, there are strong evangelical churches, but most churches are dead or dying.
Please pray for these evangelical churches within the Anglican communion that they would preach the gospel.
Please pray for the many dead Anglican churches, which are no more than glorified social clubs to be transformed by the Holy Spirit’s power.
Please pray for the leaders of the Anglican churches, that they would return and repent. Recently the Anglican church has elected a woman Archbishop of Cantebury and is now closely aligned to the false Romish doctrines. Please pray for repentance for this once great church.
Friday
There are many denominations especially the methodists, due to the ministry of the Wesley brothers, but many are dead and dying, indeed my own denomination, the Free methodists broke away from the established Methodist church because of their deadness.
Many independent churches are growing such as Heart Church in Morecambe and West Street in Bury St Edmunds, please pray for these churches.
Saturday
The UK has a long history of great men and women of God, such as Spurgeon, George Muller, Whitfield and Hudson Taylor.
Please pray that God would raise up many dynamic Christian men and women, who would shake the UK.
