Today's prayer meeting at St Paul's as part of the wave of prayer 'Thy Kingdom Come' focussed on praying for our Government and for those in positions of leadership. This lunch time a group of us met. During our time we prayed for our MP Sir Edward Garnier. This afternoon I wrote to him to let him know we had prayed for him. Here is something of what I said...
A group from St Paul’s met this lunch time
and we prayed for you. We prayed for wisdom in the many decisions you have to
make. We prayed for the ability to prioritise your workload and to know which
cases to take on. We prayed for integrity in your dealings with people. We
prayed for your journeying and for your home and family life. We prayed for you
as you represent this constituency. We prayed for you in the many committees
you are part of and in all the responsibilities you carry.
I also thanked him for his work. I was delighted to receive a reply this afternoon thanking us for the prayers we offered on his behalf.
"First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions and thanksgiving be made for everyone, for kings and all who are in high positions, so that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and dignity..." 1 Timothy 2.1-2
