Prayers for day two of the ten days of prayer before Pentecost

This afternoon we gathered to pray as a group. For 10 days people throughout the world are preparing for the Global Day of Prayer where 212 of the world's 220 nations will join in united prayer for our world, and God's gracious desire and will for the world.

This photograph was taken in the 'prayer tower' where Christians from all denominations gather to pray 24 hours a day, 7 days a week throughout the year. The prayer tower is at the top of an office block on the Jaffa road in Jerusalem. It is quite a unique experience to be here with Dutch Reformed, Catholic, Charismatic, Methodist, Anglican, and a whole host of other Christians.

Today we prayed:

- That God would unite Christians in prayer, empowering people to pray pasionately for Christ's glory to be revealed in all the world.
- That God would hear and answer the prayers of the poor, the young and the marginalised, and that God would be glorified in their praises.
- That believers would be inspired by the Holy Spirit to bless their neighbours and friends.
- That where there are need in communities throughout the world people would be bold enough to call upon God for help, and bold enough to offer practical help to those who are in need.
