Day of Prayer

WILL YOU JOIN US IN OUR DAY OF PRAYER?

Our January Day of Prayer allows us a day to focus on God, celebrate and praise him for all he has done in the past year, and pray into current and future ministry as well as for children and young people and schools. Our Day of Prayer takes place every January - the next one will be on Thursday 19 January 2023.

Wherever you are, whoever you are, however little or much time you have to spare - we'd love you to join us. There are different ways you can engage.

Hold your own Zoom prayer gathering

If you usually pray with a prayer group or a church group on Thursdays then you might like to mention SU Scotland for prayer as part of the things you normally pray for. A downloadable prayer guide will be available around the Day of Prayer to guide your thoughts and prayers.

JOIN A REGIONAL PRAYER GATHERING

We invite you to join with others in your area to pray for SU Scotland nationally and locally. Dates and times of Regional Prayer Gatherings will be posted up nearer the Day of Prayer.

If your region happens not to have its own prayer event, feel free to join in any of the others!

DOWNLOAD OUR PRAYER GUIDE

Our prayer guide is based on the Bible passage chosen for the Day of Prayer and leads into prayer points. It is useful for individual use and also for emailing round those you pray with. Below you will find the downloadable Prayer Guide for 2022 and a video version for you to watch if you prefer.

PRAISE GOD FOR ALL HE HAS BEEN DOING

Watch the video below which captures stories and highlights of what God has been enabling to happen through SU Scotland these past months. Stop and give him praise!

SPEND TIME IN REFLECTION

Use the videos below to quietly reflect on God's word and spend time in prayer.

TAKE A PRAYER WALK

Go for a walk around your town or village. Plan a route that takes in schools, churches and homes of families you know. Pray for places and individuals as you walk by, and spend time lifting up to God your Regional or Associate Worker and SU ministry in your area.

If you find that music helps you in worship and prayer, we have put together some playlists on spotify and youtube - see below.

SCHOOL RESOURCES

We produced lesson guides in 2021 which explore the theme of 'God is Limitless'. They are perfect for use with children in Primary school or young people in Secondary school to explore prayer, not just in January 2021 but all year round.
