Prayer for Poland

Today I began praying for Portugal, but I realized that I hadn't posted a prayer for Poland from the last 7 days. So, if you're reading this, please add your own brief prayer for Poland in the comment section.

Prayer for Poland
God of heaven and earth, we thank you that Poland is a relatively free country, allowing for it’s people to worship freely. But we pray against the vanities of capitalism that have disillusioned the Polish since the fall of communism. Father, cause Polish Christ-followers to wrap their lives around something much more substantial and compelling than material wealth. May they see themselves as a pilgrim people on a journey to a much better place where love and truth are the most valuable commodities.

We also pray that the political influence of the Catholic church would diminish, making it easier for protestant Christians to worship without threat of discrimination.

Lastly, we pray that the leaders of the Body of Christ in Poland would make Jesus’ vision and mission of disciple making of vital importance. We pray for the multiplication of young leaders to be sent out to plant churches that announce and demonstrate Your Kingdom.

Lord,

Thank you for your faithfulness to your people. Thank you for your forgiveness of our lack of faithfulness. We can get distracted so easily and I pray that the young people of Poland would not see technology and progress as a substitute for a relationship with you. As they sorth through the traditions of their culture I pray that they would hang on to or discover the most important thing - a relationship with you that impacts how they live out their lives.
