Prayer for Finland

Recently, I’ve been praying for Finland, the Scandinavian country bordering Russia in the East and Sweden in the West. After being controlled by Sweden for 600 years and then by Russia for nearly another 100 years, it became independent in 1917. Look at any detailed map of Finland and you’ll see massive lakes covering the southern parts of the country.

As every other posted prayer for Europe, please feel free to offer up a prayer in the comments section.

P R A Y E R :
God of hope and light, we pray for this unique Scandinavian nation. We pray that you would strengthen Finnish believers to live with the hope and the joy that spring from friendship with You. We thank you for the positive influence and assistance that Finnish Christians have given to Estonia and we ask that You would continue to strengthen your people in Finland so that they might continue to be a blessing to the spiritual condition of other Baltic and Nordic countries around them. Cause the Body of Christ in Finland to have burdened hearts for those who do not know You and to passionately proclaim and demonstrate the Good News of Jesus, especially to a growing immigrant population.
