In the light of today’s dramatic events, with the UK voting to leave the EU and David Cameron saying that he will step down, it’s important to remember that God has a spiritual purpose for the United Kingdom and Europe. It’s time to pray for our political leaders to get up and go forward graciously, doing the job they were chosen to do, and for God to give us His peace and stability. We can declare that Jesus is Lord over the decision to leave, and ask for God's guidance for all leaders. Pray for much wisdom for our Parliament and Government as they respond to the result; for reconciliation for those on opposing sides of the debate; and for relationships not to be damaged. Pray for our leaders in government, banking and commerce to unite for national economic and political stability both in the short term and long term. Pray also that we will value the contribution that each of us has to make in the public square, and for a greater recognition of the hard work that our public servants do in a difficult and challenging role.
