2010 Election countdown EIGHT days to pray, be informed and then vote...... (taken with permission from Parliamentary Prayers Scotland)
Pray with all kinds of prayer for those in authority ..............
We join with CARE in encouraging churches to come together and pray, even to fast and pray, as God leads you on the 5th and 6th May Election Day.
Pray for the outcome of the Election and for the State of the Nation. Pray for all your candidates by name. ‘Phone them up and ask if they have prayer requests.
The Bible is
very clear that the governing authorities act on God's behalf to restrain evil
- Romans 13 and
1 Peter 2:13-14. This is for the good of all people in this world -
not just Christians. 1 Timothy 2:1-5.
Pray that our authorities would provide freedom for the preaching of the Gospel and freedom for Christians to live according to God's word and commands. Also that Christians will rise to the opportunity the Election provides to speak out and play our part.
