The Christian life is like a race, and we are called to run it. The race will throw up various challenges; we will encounter hurdles along the way, but the Jesus whose birth we prepare for during Advent, is with us throughout the course. The coming few months will see the nation prepare to host the Olympic Games and Paralympics Games, and as a Church we must also prepare to take up the opportunity this presents to show God’s love in every situation we encounter.

The prayer guide has been written by the team at More Than Gold – the umbrella organization working to encourage and equip churches to make the most of the opportunity presented by the Olympic and Paralympics Games 2012.

Here is an example…
Tues 29
Matthew 5:14 – 16

Reflect: Each of us has a sphere of influence whether at work, college or with our neighbours. We have the potential to change the spiritual climate through what we say or do. You are today the light of the world, for Christ is in you, the hope of glory.

Pray & Act: Who can you encourage today? A smile can make all the difference. Pray for all with whom you will have contact.
