Prayer
If My People
Prayer is at the heart of the Hope vision. We are partnering with Pray for Scotland to ensure that all our activity is rooted in, and covered by prayer.
2 Chronicles 7:14 “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
We need the Lord to come and heal this land! This promise is conditional, and so we must pray.
Please pray for the Hope initiative and keep an eye on our events page for prayer gatherings in various locations.
Friday Focus
The World Prayer Centre has produced a weekly devotional called Friday Focus - each Friday has a special theme, scripture passage, items for thanksgiving and prayer and an opportunity to respond by taking practical action to reach out with God’s love. It can be used by individuals, groups or in church services to help focus prayer for those we want to see touched by the love of Jesus as well as for local and national issues.
Global Day of Prayer
This year’s Global Day of Prayer is being celebrated on May 11th. Literally millions of Christians around the world will gather to pray for the nations on this day. Please consider how you might gather believers in your area to pray on this day. Around Scotland we are exhorting churches to think of something to do in their town or village - perhaps going to their local high place to pray or organising a prayer walk through their streets. This is a great opportunity to fan the flames of “Hope 08″ through our combined prayers.
Please let us know what is happening in your area on the Global Day of Prayer, and click here to read about what others are doing.
