Cry for Caledonia

Lord, we pray that you would move again in the nation of Scotland, as you did in John Knox time, as you did in the Outer Hebrides, one of the dark corners of the earth. Lord, we pray that the hills and the rivers, the highlands and the lochs would lift up their hands and ascribe greatness to the King! We pray that the people would hear your voice, Scots men and women would open their eyes and see your glory in their land. We thank you for the spiritual rivers and the spiritual rain of Hope that will flood the land. Oh Lord we hear the whisper of Hope in your nation, oh let it thunder! We see Scotland as the source of a river of Hope that would gush out across Europe.

We pray for a Highway of Holiness to be laid from Glasgow to Edinburgh, from the Borders to the Shetland Islands. We pray that you would restore the Honour of your Warriors. Restore the Honour of your people here.

Lord, we pray for Edinburgh. Oh how you would gather them in your arms in a moment if they would but let you! Jesus, may you reign again above ancient tradition and architectural beauty, above the stale smell of breweries and the desperation of the homeless. I pray that Truth would be rebuilt, brick by brick. May Edinburgh no longer be a fortress of bitterness, but a Fortress of Truth! May it give from its heart, and not only for its own gain! We pray for every man that hangs his head, for every woman that covers up her fear of the future. Jesus, come!! Strengthen the feeble hands and weak knees! Make us your people strong and valiant! Give grace to the pastors - the shepherds of the city. Give grace to the politicians and influential people. Open the floodgates of love!! Let love come in! Let no one escape Your Love, Your undeniable, tangible Love.

In the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
