Prayer Diary 4- 10 May 2026
This week there are elections for the Scottish Parliament, Welsh Senedd and many other parts of the country are holding local elections.
Monday
Lord, we pray that only those candidates who are honest and hard working will put themselves forward for election. Please help them to have knowledge and wisdom to decide on national concerns, but also knowledge and commitment to local issues
Tuesday
Lord, we pray that all those who can vote will do so carefully, thoughtfully and prayerfully.
Wednesday
As the new session of Parliament begins soon, Lord please give our elected members the knowledge, wisdom and insight they need, as they discuss new and important legislation.
Thursday
Lord, we thank you that the UK’s justice system is managed without political bias. Please give our judges wisdom, courage and insight as they prepare their judgments and decide the correct outcome.
Friday
Lord, we pray for the billions of people who live under the world’s 50 or more oppressive regimes and pray that more countries will move towards democracy and that terrorist organisations will be brought to justice.
Saturday
Dear Lord, we ask that the many people who are currently in prison around the world because of their religious beliefs, especially Christians, will be released to live safely -with their families, in their own country. Please keep them safe to worship in their churches and care for each other.
Sunday
Lord, we pray for our Church and our community that we will honour, respect and care for others. Help us to value and preserve the democratic freedoms we enjoy in this country. Thank you for the freedom we have to worship, to attend Church and fellowship with other Christians. May we take opportunities that come our way to share your gift of salvation and love with others.
