A special prayer for the UK at this time

Eternal God, Light of the nations,
in Christ you make all things new:
guide our nation in the coming days through the inspiration of your Spirit,
that understanding may put an end to discord and all bitterness.
Give us grace to rebuild bonds of trust
that together we may work for the dignity and flourishing of all;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.


Saturday: Psalms 78.1-39; Revelation 13.11-end Questions on Revelation:
·       The beast described looks harmless (like a lamb) but is powerful (like a dragon). It infiltrates trade and the dealings of men to distort God’s Kingdom. Does this sound like any ideas or practices that are binding our world today?
·       The number! Some say it was a code for the Roman Emperors who inflicted so much harm on the early church. Others that it is man (6, 1 short of 7) perfectly (repeated 3 times) relying on himself – this sin of pride. Pray today for humility – the only antitode.
What verse speaks to you today? Repeat it and allow the Holy Spirit to speak through it.
