Christian groups release EU referendum prayer

by Hannah Tooley

On June 23rd Great Britain will decide whether it wishes to remain a member of the EU or leave.

CARE, Christian Concern, The Christian Institute, the Christian Medical Fellowship, the Jubilee Centre, The Kirby Laing Institute for Christian Ethics and The Lawyers' Christian Fellowship have worked together and created a prayer for the occasion.

The collection of organisations has said it wants Christians to pray for the referendum and its outcome.

Campaigning has begun again on Sunday following the death of Labour MP Jo Cox on Thursday.

The prayer, released on Sunday, asks for wisdom for the decision.

It reads: "We pray that God may give wisdom to all those eligible to vote in the referendum and to those who govern us, as they respond to the outcome.

 "We thank God for the historic and present influence of the gospel, and the freedoms that it has brought.
 
"We pray that, whatever the outcome of the referendum, God might preserve the freedom to proclaim the gospel, to live according to his ways, to demonstrate his love and to serve others.
 
"So at this time of national debate and decision, we continue to pray, as our Saviour Jesus Christ taught us, that our Father's will be done, on earth as it is in heaven."
