Christians across the UK have been encouraged to pray for the new government after 7 May’s General Election results.
With 1 Timothy 2.1,2 in mind, The Christian Institute is urging supporters to pray that MPs would act courageously and with integrity.
A hung parliament had been widely expected, but the Conservatives won a narrow overall majority of 12 and David Cameron continues as Prime Minister.
Colin Hart, director of The Christian Institute, said: ‘I know that many thousands of Christians will be praying. We should pray for whoever is in charge. The Bible tells us to pray that we would be allowed the freedom to live godly lives and have liberty to share the gospel.
‘Jeremiah 29 also teaches us that it is right to seek the welfare of the country in which we live, even if that country isn’t godly.’
The best interests of our country will be served if the new government defends religious liberty and gospel freedom.
