Thanks
On the 3rd December 2010, we issued an call for a Day of Prayer for Ireland. Many people around the world, joined us on that day, and we would like to express our appreciation for all the people that prayed with us. At the present time we are exploring the idea of running an annual day of prayer for Ireland. Please register with us on Facebook to be kept informed of developments.
What is the Vision?
We are Christians from different churches in Ireland, who have felt drawn to join together to issue a call for prayer for our nation at this time. Ireland is undergoing a period of economic, political and social upheaval, which is shaking the very fabric of our society. In the midst of this upheaval, we issued this call to prayer. We need God’s help in a very definite way at this time, and we are meeting to ask God for His intervention.
Invitation to plan events and gatherings for prayer
Many joined us on Friday the 3rd December 2010, to pray for Ireland. We were asking people to pray individually, at home, in groups , at special church services, at work, at school, colleges, wherever . The times of prayer could be short or long, using your favourite form of prayer, or at a church service, mass, bible study etc.
Some suggestions:-
We would like to make some suggestions for prayer:-
Begin by acknowledging our need for Gods Help. Recognise where we as a nation have failed to seek Gods help and direction.
- Ask God to send the Holy Spirit to give wisdom and courage to those in leadership to guide Ireland through this period of storm.
- Pray for the Body of Christ, to rise to the challenge of being a beacon of hope and light to the people of Ireland, and to take concrete steps to help alleviate the sufferings of those of the poor both spiritual and material.
- Pray for those who have lost Jobs, those who are struggling to pay bills, or are fearful of losing their homes.
- Pray for a just and fair solution to the financial situation that Ireland faces at the present time.
- Pray for the peace and prosperity of our nation,for good governance and integrity in politics, financial services and business.
- Ask God to renew and sustain the spiritual hearts of the people, not to lose hope but to trust in Him at this time.
- Ask God to renew his Church, renew its leadership and its people.
