PrayEurope 40-40-40 — Czech Republic

Czech Republic was the scene many years ago when a priest stood up declaring certain practices as against Scripture.  He was then convicted of heresy and burned at the stake.  He was a bold follower of Christ.  Now only 59% of the population won’t even stand up to affiliate themselves with a religious group (probably because many don’t want anything to do with religion which I understand) but only 1.1% would say that they have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Dear God,

I pray today for the Czech Republic whose history is rich with people who stood up to protect what You had declared sacred.  I pray for the people of Czech Republic to once again return to knowing You and want to declare themselves a part of Your family.  I pray that they will come to an understanding that following You and being in a relationship with You is not equal to religion – that its so much more.  I pray that You will strengthen Your followers there so that they can share what You have done in their lives with others.  Amen.
