Hi everyone
This Friday, Saturday and Sunday we are inviting Christians to pray for London wherever you live. It is now the fifth year of the London Prayer Loop. Often 5 is seen as representing grace. As I was praying into this I had a picture of a bike with stabilisers going around the London Loop.
For those who don't know what the London Loop is it is a series of 24 walks varying from 3 miles to 10 miles around the outside of London that Transport for London have put together giving the opportunity for Christians to physically or virtually surround London with prayer.
In the picture I had of the bike with stabilisers I noticed that one of the stabiliser wheels was inside London and the other on the outside. I was reminded of some words from Isaiah 33:5-6 that the Lord "will be the stability of your times." We urgently need this stability in our times. God's abundance of salvation, wisdom and knowledge.
A few weeks ago I had a prophetic word of encouragement. When I had the picture of the bike with stabilisers on the London Loop I immediately thought of this word of encouragement. It may be for others too. If that is you you may like to replace the word daughter with son if appropriate.
"Daughter of grace. How I love you. I am giving you grace stabilisers so you will not fall. For as you operate in grace the danger moments will come and go and you will go forward in my love and you will see my goodness in the land of the living."
I drew up the picture of the bicycle with the grace stabilisers. As I did I felt I should put the armour of God on the person riding the bike and also on the bike itself.
Can I ask you to pray for Christians who live and work in London. Pray that they will love their neighbour. Pray that there will be an end to gun and knife crime. Pray for all the youth ministries that reach out to young people across London. Pray for Word 4 Weapons as it places bins across London to take guns and knives off the streets. Pray for those who are lonely. Pray for community to be built up. Pray for those who are struggling with debt. Pray for salvation in London. Pray for God's wisdom how to live. Pray for the things laid on your heart.
For more information about the London Prayer Loop and the NPN programme this year go to our website www.neighbourhoodprayer.net and select London Prayer Loop under the projects tab. Under our resources tab we have free downloadable guides on virtual prayer walking and A Mile With Jesus that may be of interest. Our newsletter last Friday also focused on the London Prayer Loop if you have not read it yet.
Can you share this call to prayer with anyone you know or any churches you know in London and outside of London. This year we felt God was encouraging us to "invite" people to pray for London.
Love and blessings
Lisa Hutt
Director of Prayer for Neighbourhood Prayer Network

BENEDICTION
Glorious Lord, I give you greeting!
Let the church and the chancel praise you,
Let the chancel and the church praise you,
Let the plain and the hillside praise you,
Let the world’s three well-springs praise you,
Two above wind and one above land,
Let the dark and the daylight praise you.
Abraham, founder of the faith, praised you:
Let the life everlasting praise you,
Let the birds and honeybees praise you,
Let the shorn Stems and shoots praise you.
Both Aaron and Moses praised you:
Let the male and the female praise you,
Let the air and the ether praise you,
Let the books and the letters praise you,
Let the fish in the swift streams praise you,
Let the thought and the action praise you,
Let the sand-grains and earth-clods praise you,
Let all the good that’s performed praise you.
And I shall praise you, Lord of glory:
Glorious Lord, I give you greeting!

A report has found that one in six deaths worldwide in 2019 was caused by pollution, with 92% of those happening in low- or middle-income countries. God, we grieve this global injustice. We pray that high-polluting countries and industries would be moved to change their practices.
Every day, we’re encouraging you to lift up your eyes and pray for others around the world as part of #StayAndPray.

When we feel isolated and lonely
God of faithfulness, be our companion.
When intrusive thoughts disturb and overwhelm
God of peace, quieten our minds.
When we feel distraught and struggle to face the day
God of eternity, be our light.
When self-doubt and shame feel overwhelming

When we constantly crave to be more
God of truth, help us accept we are enough.
Loving, life-giving, life-transforming God

God of our exposed divisions,
God of your uniting spirit:
there is a rawness to democracy.
A revelation occurs as we see
more of who we really are.
And with that clarity comes a choice
to stand with or against
each other.
Remind us that you stood with us,
when you knew we were wrong,
when you didn’t agree with our choices,
when we were quick to turn against you.
So may we now choose to stand
with all those we can,
and in the choice to be together,
may we find new ways to thrive.
Amen
