I'm including the notes and verse on the side of the prayer pamphlet for this week. It's a good reminder during times of leadership change on both sides of the pond.
"Why should we pray for our leaders? Because their decisions - about healthcare, education, justice, social care - affect us all. Because we need wise, visionary, servant-hearted people in these toughest of jobs. Because we're commanded in the Bible, to play our part in society by remembering our leaders before God."
"I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people, for kings and all in authority." - 1 Timothy 2:1-2
Sunday - Give thanks for the 31,000 police officers and 2,600 community support officers who help keep London's streets safe. Pray they'll carry out their duties with wisdom, care and compassion. Pray for God's protection over them in their work.
