Why Europe? Being a citizen of two European countries, this continent is very much on my heart, so I pray for it.

The secularisation of Western Europe saddens me greatly and I want to see this change back to being God-fearing countries. “In this time of our deep need, help us again as you did in years gone by. In your anger, remember your mercy.’ Habakkuk 3:2” (NLT).

There have been prophecies of revival spreading once again across Europe, I keep asking God to bring these about. I remember being in a very memorable prayer meeting some years back when we prayed for Europe. The Holy Spirit was moving among us in a powerful and mighty way, many visions were shared, all in the same vein, of how God wants to revive Europe again (this is where I shout: “Come on, Jesus, do it again!”)

When I don’t know how to pray I ask the Holy Spirit for help.

Praying for Israel is also part of my prayers for Europe — Gen. 12:3: “I will bless those who bless you”.

God answers prayer across geographical boundaries. A person in another European country knew Jesus as her personal Saviour, but was a bit afraid of the Holy Spirit. I have been praying for her for nearly 40 years. She recently told me that she was getting to know the work of the Holy Spirit in her own life! Such a wonderful answer to prayer! Keep praying!
