The economic conditions of Ireland have dramatically improved since 2014. The growing export sector along with the economic job growth and low inflation rates are key reasons why their economy is progressing[1]. In regards to Human Trafficking, Ireland is a destination and transit country for women, men, and children trafficked for the purposes of commercial sexual exploitation and forced labor[2]. Let us continue to lift up the work of the Holy Spirit throughout the church and nation of Ireland. Let’s Pray…

-Dear Jesus we come to you right now and we lift up the nation of Ireland. Release your Holy Spirit and pour out your glory over the people of Ireland like never before. We ask that you would raise a generation of Irish people that would intercede on behalf of their country. That you would pour out revival that would start in the hearts of your people and would burst forth into every corner of Ireland. That there would be an unprecedented hunger for your presence like never before. Let all eyes turn to Ireland because of your glory residing there! We declare that miracles, signs, and wonders would break forth even now! (R.B. contribute 8.11.23). 

-We declare that this generation would display a Psalm 42 type of hunger and thirst for you. Lord, as the deer pants for streams of water, so let their soul thirst for you, our living God. Lord, may the people of Ireland put their hope in you God, and may they praise you, our savior and our God. By day you Lord direct your love, and at night your song is with the people of Ireland, a prayer to the God of our lives. Lord, help the people of Ireland put their hope in you God, for we will yet praise him, our savior and our God. In Jesus mighty name, AMEN! (R.B. contribute 8.11.23).**

-Father, we thank you for the nation of Ireland. We thank you for great leaders in this nation. Jesus, we pray that you would continue to move and be the center of society. We ask that your grace and repentance would lead your people daily. We ask that vision may continue to be poured out on the government leaders and that they may continue to glorify your name and the plans you have for Ireland. 

-May the gifts of the Holy Spirit be received by your people in Ireland. Let your gifts of wisdom, knowledge, faith, healing, miraculous powers, prophecy, distinguishing between spirits, tongues, and the interpretation of tongues fall upon your followers Jesus.* 

-Yeshua, we pray that you would shut down human trafficking systems in Ireland. We pray for an angelic presence over the borders of this nation guiding the incoming victims towards a safe home and safe community. We pray for salvation to come to the oppressed and poor in Ireland. We pray for healing, restoration, and freedom over those held captive. We ask for conviction to fall upon the guilty, and we pray your grace would lead them to repentance, salvation, and restoration. 

-Father, we pray over the ports in Ireland and ask for your angelic presence to keep out shipments of illegal drugs. Jesus, may your grace and renewal be embraced by those involved in this industry. Amen.
