Pray for United Kingdom
Population 62.3 Million with 250 people per sq km Religion 71.6% Christian 2.7% Muslim Prayer needs There is full religious freedom. The Church of England (Anglican) is recognized as the Established Church in England, and the Church of Scotland (Presbyterian) in Scotland. The United Kingdom is made up of a union of four countries: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. A sense that all is not well pervades the country. The ‘freedoms’ of the 1960s led to social disaster and hastened spiritual decline. Many are discouraged about the future and cynical about the seeming impotence of politicians to deal with the malaise. Spiritual need is highlighted by increasing violence in the cities, the high divorce, suicide and illegitimacy rates, and drug abuse. Paralleling this is the growing number of younger people who have no contact with or knowledge of Christianity. Without a radical change, disaster looms. Pray for national repentance and restoration to the spiritual vigour that once made Britain’s Christians a blessing to the world. Pray that Christians might become passionate for God’s honour, burdened to pray for revival and be freed from a deadening negativism and materialism that pervades the life of the churches.
