Restoring Ireland's Divine Identity

A Call to Prayer

Ireland, a land with a rich spiritual heritage, stands at the crossroads of its destiny. Beneath its lush landscapes lies a divine purpose — they preserved all the knowledge of the ancient world during the Dark Ages, and sent out missionaries who reached across all of Europe and into Asia with the Gospel. Their work created our modern world. Ireland’s journey to recapture their calling begins with prayer.

Prayer is a powerful tool to awaken and restore Ireland to its true identity.

By initiating a prayer movement, we align ourselves with God’s heart for Ireland, inviting His presence and power to transform the nation. This guide will lead you through seven days of focused prayer, each day addressing a specific aspect of Ireland’s redemptive calling.

Why Prayer is Essential for Ireland:

  • Reclaiming Spiritual Heritage: Prayer helps reclaim Ireland’s profound spiritual legacy, honoring the past while seeking God’s vision for the future.
  • Speaking Life and Identity: Prayer speaks God’s promises over Ireland, calling out its true identity and destiny. This act of speaking life aligns with the biblical principle of prophesying over dry bones, bringing renewal and hope.
  • Activating God’s Plans: Prayer catalyzes action, inspiring steps to address social, economic, and spiritual challenges, aligning with God’s plans for Ireland.
  • Uniting Believers: A prayer movement fosters unity across denominations and regions, essential for spiritual revival and national transformation.

Why Prayer is Essential for Ireland (CONTINUED):

  • Historical Precedent: Ireland’s history of preserving and transmitting Christian and classical knowledge during the Dark Ages highlights its role as a beacon of learning and faith. This legacy can inspire contemporary efforts to address global challenges.
  • Educational Influence: Ireland’s tradition of education and scholarship continues to shape future leaders and thinkers equipped to address global issues from a faith-based perspective.
  • Cultural Impact: Irish culture, with its storytelling, music, and arts, can spread messages of hope and resilience.
  • Peace and Reconciliation: Lessons from Ireland’s peace process can promote conflict resolution and reconciliation globally.
  • Global Connectivity: Strategically located with strong connections to Europe, North America, and beyond, Ireland serves as a bridge for cultural exchange, dialogue, and collaboration.

Days 1-4: Praying for Families

FOCUS:

Pray for the stability, unity, and well-being of families within Ireland. Ask for provision, protection, and strong bonds of love and support.

PRAYER

Heavenly Father, we lift up the families of Ireland to You. May they experience Your love and provision in their homes. Strengthen the bonds between family members, fostering unity and support. Protect them from harm and provide for their needs. May their homes be places of peace and joy. We lift up the families who are believers in Ireland. We recognize that the majority of people in Ireland are not Christ followers, and many families live and work in communities where there is little to no presence of other believers. We pray for these families, especially those who have members who don’t know Jesus yet. Protect the family unit, uphold the roles of father, mother, and children, and guide young Christians to find and marry other believers. May their faith be a beacon of hope and strength in their communities. Amen.
