August Prayer Guide
Isa 35:5-7
5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened,
And the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.
6 Then the lame shall leap like a deer,
And the tongue of the dumb sing.
For waters shall burst forth in the wilderness,
And streams in the desert.
7 The parched ground shall become a pool,
And the thirsty land springs of water;
In the habitation of jackals, where each lay,
There shall be grass with reeds and rushes.
Praise God for the outpouring of his Glory releasing the miraculous and healings in the Valley and in our nation! God impressed on me today that this level of Glory and the miraculous is upon us and all we have to do is lay hold of it by faith! Praise God – these are the times of the ‘Greater Glory’, God is preparing his bride. Please pray that all the Leaders, Churches and Christians will reach out for their inheritance,
Prayer Focus – Education – one of the mind-moulders of our society
“Go into the world uncorrupted, a breath of fresh air in this squalid and polluted world. Provide people with a glimpse of good living and of the living God.” Phil. 2:15 Message Bible
Remember teenagers who will receive important exam results at this time and ask god to give wisdom to those who are unsure what their next step should be. Pray that many in this age group will be inspired to serve and bring transformation to our society; that it would become more committed to values of truth, purity and love.
Pray for all the staff in the schools that they will have a good break and come back next term with a fresh vision to mould pliable minds in positive pure ways.
Pray for students as they commence a new school year that they will happily settle in to their new classes and schools and that it will be a positive change in their education programme.
Pray for Christian School staff, governors, advisors and those who are invited to lead assemblies, contribute lessons, engage in pastoral care and Christian activities. Ask God to help them live out their faith and demonstrate the love of Christ in all they do.

Valley of Praise Guide for July
Valley of Praise – Prayer Guide no 8
Focus for July – Arts, Entertainment and Sport
“Whatever things are true, whatever things are noble whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praise worthy- meditate on these things.” Phil 4:8
Pray for a fresh infusion into our culture of ideals of excellence, truth and courage and beauty, to replace the growing number of trivial, sexually explicit and decadent ideas and images featuring in some of our media and popular music.
Pray that Christian song writers, performers and others in the music industry will increasingly apply the reality of personal faith to their work; maintaining their integrity, achieving excellence in all they do and living in a way that honours God and relies on His ability.
Pray for all those who are studying to develop their creative gifts in music, art, design, literature, sport, athletics, media and other forms of communication and culture. Pray for their teachers and others who are seeking to help them discover the full potential you have placed in their lives.
Almost 2 million people are employed in creative occupations in Great Britain. We have the largest creative sector in the EU and, comparatively speaking in the world. (Department of culture media and sport)
