Prayer

We'd love you to join us in praying for all those sharing the good news of Jesus through Scripture Union activities, and for the young people who they come into contact with

Pray for Scripture Union's ministries

Only with God's help will we stand a chance of reaching the 95% of children and young people who have no contact with a church. A vital source of support are the prayers offered for our workers, volunteers, and the children and young people who we come into contact with.

Here you will find all the prayer requests we have received from those working within Scripture Union.

Our prayer needs for the current period

Ways to pray

Everyone needs a little help with prayer and reading the Bible. Scripture Union's Bible-reading guides have helpful explanations on different Bible passages every day to help you understand what you're reading and relate it to modern day issues and events.

Encounter with God

Encounter with God is part of Scripture Union's daily Bible-reading guide series designed to lead you to a deeper understanding about what God is saying to you and to his world today. You’ll find its thorough and energetic investigation of the whole Bible inspiring and stimulating. And you’ll discover that its biblical exposition is complemented by pastoral warmth from a strong field of writers and contributors.

WordLive

WordLive from Scripture Union is a free, online guide, helping you meet with God devotionally - through the Bible. With additional material to help you go deeper into the background of the Bible passage and multimedia resources to help you look at the passage from a different angle. Each day uses a new Bible passage with fresh resources to refresh your quiet time with God.

Daily Bread

Daily Bread is part of Scripture Union's daily Bible-reading guide series which aims to contextualise and show the current relevance of the text day by day. Everyone needs a little help when reading the Bible. Sometimes the poetry and prose, history and revelation, or parables and proverbs need some explanation. Daily Bread provides real inspiration each time you read it.

Day of Prayer

Every year we set aside a day to pray for the work of Scripture Union in England and Wales.

Wherever you are and however much time you have, we'd love you to get involved!

In 2022 this took place on 20th June and along with many of you, we took the time to give thanks to God for who he is, his provision for SU as well as pray for the 95 and for the years ahead.

The date for our 2023 Day of Prayer will be released soon.
