Prayer

Purpose of prayer

Prayer is the spiritual practice of communicating with God. It is the practice of setting aside time to intentionally be with God, which in turn shapes our character to be more like Him and partner with Him in the world. We pray because we have a relationship with God and are dependent on Him for our existence.  

Why do we fast?

Pray points

As a church family, we would love for each of us to be joined together in prayer. Here are some of the ways you can be praying for the Church. 

  • Our Weekly Gatherings: Pray for each Community’s weekly gathering—for everyone serving and for the strengthening of all our teams. Ask God for generous, faithful financial giving to support the work.

  • Impact in Our Neighbourhoods: Pray that each Community will shine brightly in its local area. Ask God to help us all be “salt and light” in our workplaces, homes, and everyday interactions.

  • Small Groups: Pray for our small group leaders—for God’s wisdom, compassion, and guidance as they care for people. Ask for deep, life-giving relationships to grow in every group.

  • The Diadem Building: Give thanks for the purchase of the Diadem! Pray it becomes a hub for the whole church—a beacon that impacts Edinburgh, the Lothians, and beyond. Ask that it would be used to advance God’s Kingdom and further the mission of GoGlobal.

Do you have a story you'd like to share with the Church, one that you believe will inspire and strengthen others' faith and trust in God?

“Twelve years ago, while visiting Edinburgh, I prayed with a heavy heart for God to revive this city and let me one day see His work here. I never imagined He would bring me back to live in the very neighbourhood where I prayed that prayer. Today, I walk those same streets with gratitude, peace, and hope, trusting that God is at work.- Heidi
