I'm conscious that it's so important and yet often feels quite hard to pray for the nation & government. So how about using one of the ideas below and committing to pray for the nation and the government for 3 months (1 season)

Here are three ideas for what you could use:

1) Set a reminder on your phone once a week to pray for the nation and government (maybe a Friday, start today!). You could simply pray the Lord's Prayer for the nation and government at that point

2) Use the 'Prayer Card for the Nation, Government & Wider World'* that I've created to prompt you with daily areas to focus on. You can view it below or print it here. (You get two A5 copies on your print out. I suggest putting a copy on your fridge or above your desk and a copy in your in Bible)

3) Download the 'Time to Pray' app from the Church of England.  The short Day Prayer has 4 or 5 focus areas to pray for each day, in a 7 day cycle. More information here or go to Google Play or App Store and search 'Time to Pray.  

Just give it a go, and join in with God's heart for the nations of the world.

* This is based on the Church of England's Morning Prayer list, which is down-to-earth and wide ranging.
