A Prayer for Great Britain
Almighty God,
Lord of heaven and earth, who has blessed this island nation through centuries with grace, courage, and a calling to stand for justice and truth.
We come before You in humility and repentance on this day.
We confess that Britain has drifted from the paths of righteousness.
We have allowed compromise where conviction was needed, weakness where strength was required, and division where unity in Your truth should prevail.
Forgive us, O Lord, for the ways we have turned from Your ways, neglected the vulnerable, and failed to shine as a beacon of moral clarity.
Yet You are merciful and mighty to restore.
Raise up, we pray, leaders of true character for our land, men and women of backbone and backbone alone, not swayed by fleeting applause, ambition, or fear, but anchored in integrity, wisdom, and unwavering commitment to what is right.
Grant them moral courage to defend the defenceless, enforce justice without favour, secure our borders with compassion and resolve, and govern with the fear of God rather than the fear of man.
Renew the spirit of this nation, O God.
Stir the hearts of Your people to rediscover our Christian heritage, the foundations of law, liberty, and mercy that once made Britain a force for good across the world.
Let righteousness exalt this realm once more (Proverbs 14:34), that peace may prevail with justice, freedom with responsibility, and strength with humility.
Make Great Britain again a force for righteousness in a troubled world:
A voice against tyranny, a hand of aid to the suffering, a defender of the innocent, and a witness to the unchanging truth of Your Gospel.
Protect our children, heal our divisions, revive our churches, and bless our homes with faith and love.
We ask this not for our glory, but for Yours.
That through renewed leadership and a humbled people, Your name may be honoured, Your kingdom advanced, and this nation may fulfil the purpose You have for her.
In the name of Jesus Christ, our righteous King and Saviour,
Amen.
