‘Your Kingdom come, Your will be done' was the prayer of hundreds of Christians who gathered at a central London church to cry out to God over the moral and spiritual crisis in the UK.

All mainstream denominations were represented at Saturday's gathering at the Emmanuel Centre, near the Houses of Parliament. Prayer gatherings were also held in places such as Birmingham, Manchester and Edinburgh and in countries around the world in an expression of solidarity with the London meeting. The day of prayer and repentance was organised following a meeting at the House of Lords last December of some 80 Christians from the church, the Houses of Parliament, and the business and education sectors. The meeting focused on the moral and spiritual implications of the financial crisis and concluded with a call for a season of prayer and fasting for the UK. Pray:that God would answer our prayers and that He would bring revival and transformation to our nations. (Ps.85:6) Source: Prayer Alert |
