There is an active community of Christians from both houses of parliament who regularly pray, worship and study the Bible together. A strong focus at the moment is Brexit. We can pray for the responsibilities of office and the difficulties of decision-making to be made clear through God’s anointing on individuals and their commitment to stand and state their convictions based on God’s Word. Pray for the wise use of money and resources, for the opposition parties in the task of constructively holding the government to account, and for Christian MPs’ faith to grow. Pray for policy issues abroad, asking God to create constructive relationships between nations and their representatives, and for grace, wisdom and discernment in their dealings with each other. Pray also for domestic policy issues, and for Government responsibilities towards those in education, health, police, the armed forces, social and welfare services. Pray for them to handle issues of terrorism, its threat and its causes, with great wisdom.
