This National Day of Prayer has been inspired by Isaiah 66 verse 8:

"Who has ever heard of such things? Who has ever seen things like this? Can a country be born in a day or a nation brought forth in a moment? Yet no sooner is Zion in labour than she gives birth to her children." 

As believers we have authority to call for divine order in the UK today. Divine order in the government, divine order in sectors of society, divine order in Brexit, divine order in the economy.

Victory is in the Air:

Recently we celebrated 100 years of the Royal Air Force, the brave men and women of whom Winston Churchill famously said:

"Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many, to so few"

Right now the Battle for Britain is in the air. In the airwaves and in the prayers of the believers.

We have an amazing history of nation changing prayer in this country thanks to national days of prayer during the second world war and people like Rees Howells, whose prayers changed the direction of The Battle of Britain.

Today, as it feels like the world's gone mad, call for divine order. Don't fuel the fear, criticism and negativity, but let's set aside a day to pray for those in government. 

Let's not miss our 'Daniel' moment - Sunday December 9th 2018 is our time to unite in prayer across the nation for God's will to be done in Great Britain. If you can set aside time as a church, ministry or individual to pray on this day, we believe this will truly shift the destiny of our nation.

How do you get involved?

Great question!

Simply by dedicating some time on Sunday 9 December to pray specifically for our government. You could use the prayer shared below.

You could get your local church to spend some time praying on that day. You might even want to organise a prayer meeting. 

At Catch The Fire Bournemouth we have an 8 hour prayer session from 9am to 5pm (with our normal church meeting from 10.30 to 12.30pm).

Let us know how you're planning to get involved by sending us a message or leaving a message on the National Day of Prayer Facebook page
