Pray for Ireland now
It is morning in Dublin
Lord, morning has come to Ireland. Be with everyone starting the day there: parents waking children, workers on their way, the sick, the lonely and the grieving. Give Your people there joy in You and courage to speak of Jesus, and open many hearts to the good news. Let Your name be praised there today. Amen.
Father, it is the middle of the day in Ireland. Be near to those at work and at school, to the ones who make decisions for many, and to the ones no one notices. Give its leaders wisdom and justice. Strengthen the churches there to love their neighbors well, and draw many to Jesus. Amen.
Lord Jesus, evening is falling over Ireland. Gather families around their tables in peace. Comfort those who come home to an empty house or a hard word. Bless the believers who meet tonight to pray and read Your Word, and let Your light shine through them. Thank You for being with them through this day. Amen.
Father, it is night in Ireland. Watch over those who sleep and those who cannot: the anxious, the sick, the ones working through the night and the ones in danger. Give them rest and keep them safe. You never slumber or sleep; hold Your people there in Your hand until morning. Amen.
Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and Your dominion endures through all generations. The LORD is faithful in all His words and kind in all His actions.
Psalm 145:13 (BSB)
