Hi guys. There has been riots in London for 3 days now and they are getting worse and worse. It is spreading over the country and is now in Birmingham. Buses, cars, buildings are on fire and looting is happing all over the place, even taking food.

It started in Tottenham when a police man shot dead a dad of 4. but it has escalated. So please pray for peace in the UK and that it does not spread over the country.

Here is some videos to show you the extent of the violence :-

So far the police have been very ineffectual even standing about last night while looters broke into stores and ran off with goods. . more towns and cities are seeing trouble now. . for me this stems from a Godlessness and a generation of fatherless children with no discipline thanks to the 'liberal lobby'. . these youngsters are venting and need a hard hand. . tonight there will be 16,000 police on the streets of London with water cannons and rubber bullets, hopefully this will break up the trouble we see on our TV screens even if it does not deal with root issues, rather than praying for the riots to end. . pray these people will seek Giod and that Chriat will return to significance through our shores here in the UK. . time is short. .

Hi guys, thanks for your prayers. It is getting worse though :(. Although there was no violence in London, three people died in Birmingham last night. They were protecting there homes and businesses when a car hit all three of them at high speed. They died of there injuries at hospital. This really has to stop, people are blaming the black communities and Asians for the violence so it is causing anger as well. Please also pray that this country unites against the violence and stops blaming certain people because it will only course more violence.

The spirit of lawlessness is in this country at the moment, the violence is unprecedented as it has now spread to 5 other city's. Pray that God does a miracle in the UK. Gods light shines strongest in dark situations.

This country once knew God but in two generations it hardly knows him. Roman's 1:28Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. So please pray for Gods for forgiveness and allow this country to become prodigal son.

Again thanks for your prayers :)

I think its only in England, but still definitely pray for the UK that it doesn't spread.........and where sin is abounding His grace will abound even more.
It's not just physical peace we need, but the peace of knowing God to abound :)
