Coninuing to pray for the peoples of Europe this week. From the 21st-28th I'm praying for Norway. Please feel free to add your prayers in the "comments" section. (One of these days, maybe Blogger will provide a "categories" feature so that I can separate these EuroPrayer entries into their own section. Or, maybe I should move the blog to TypePad or WordPress.)
Prayer for Norway
God of all life, we bow before you and intercede on behalf of the people of Norway. Their religious ties are strong and there is a rich heritage of spiritual sensitivity amongst them. However, we would pray for the strength of the church there. We ask that you would bring pastors, church leaders and the rest of your people to know and be confident in the existence of Your Kingdom so that they can be confident in announcing and demonstrating that Kingdom in Norwegian culture. Please save the church in Norway from becoming an institution. Breathe new life into it so that it is revived as a movement of your hand, bringing hope, healing, and wholeness to those who stumble in the dark and do not have an intimate connection with the Light of the World through His death and resurrection.
AMEN.

Lord, Thank you for your faithfulness to Norway and for the churches that have sprung up there. I pray for the leaders of those churches that they would remain rooted in you. I pray that the people of those churches would love others into the church - that those who are following you would become known by their love, as it should be.
