There are many things that make me proud of Great Britain
Historically, we have been a massive blessing to so many countries, taking the Bible and the gospel right around the world.
We stood alone as the monstrous evil of Fascism marched across Europe, and the churches were filled again and again when the then King called our nation to prayer for God’s help in the struggle.
Sadly, we have moved very far from those days. But others have picked up the baton we dropped. When 33 Chilean miners were trapped underground with little hope of rescue, the President, the First Lady and the entire cabinet joined the chaplains in prayer for God to intervene. Meanwhile, the trapped men also humbled themselves and asked God for help. Setting up a church underground, they survived on half a teaspoon of tuna a day. And when they opened their last tin of food, they called it the last supper!
The very next day the rescue drill reached them, having been miraculously deflected into their path.
Our interview with Chaplain Alfred Cooper (p8) recounts how British reporters mocked that ‘the God who got them out got them in there in the first place’, but his answer to them was brilliant. “Unsafe mines are a product of human greed in a fallen world,” he said. “But what we find at the bottom of the mine is sinful people praying for God’s help, and we witness a miracle.”
Just as much as those men needed to find freedom, we in Britain need God to rescue us today. So, if you are a leader, lead your people in prayer. If you feel that you don’t know how to pray, pray anyway.
There is no such thing as a ‘good prayer’. As a great king in the Bible once pleaded, “We don’t know what to do, but our eyes are on you.”
