THOSE IN AUTHORITY
The authorities that exist are God’s servants put in place for our good. We should pray for them.
“for there is no authority except that which God has established” ROMANS 13:1
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Please pray:
- That our legal case against the Civil Service would see it abandon radical gender ideology;
- Giving thanks that the latest attempts to axe Christian prayers in Parliament have been rejected;
- That God will bless our national and local leaders with wisdom and integrity to restrain evil and promote what is good;
- For more Christians to have influence on public policy for the glory of God.

|
|
| |

| |
|

GOSPEL FREEDOM
Gospel freedom and free speech are frequently undermined.
“Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect” 1 PETER 3:15

GAMBLING
Mainstream Christian belief has always viewed gambling as incompatible with the Bible’s teaching.
“For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.” 1 TIMOTHY 6:10
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Please pray:
- For politicians to recognise the harm gambling poses to the most vulnerable;
- That we would see an end to gambling advertisements;
- For families negatively impacted by a loved one’s gambling;
- For the Institute as we seek to better inform politicians and the public of the dangers of gambling.

THE CHURCH
The Church is always under pressure to conform to the pattern of the world.
“we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, and especially of those who believe” 1 TIMOTHY 4:10
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Please pray:
- That church leaders would faithfully and boldly preach the Gospel;
- For true repentance and revival in the UK, that we would see souls saved and lives changed;
- For Christians to confidently share the whole counsel of God in the public square;
- That God would raise up more faithful ministers of the Gospel and give strength and encouragement to leaders who are weary and struggling.

SANCTITY OF LIFE
We are all uniquely valuable, because we are all made by God in his image.
“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” PSALM 139:14

|
|
| |

- For significant improvements in palliative care and that it would be accessible to all who need it;
- Giving thanks for medical advances that increasingly allow even very premature babies to survive and thrive;
- For an end to destructive embryo research;
- For a change of heart in those working to undermine the sanctity of life.
