Pray with us

Support Bethany’s Scotland-wide work through prayer this year.

We praise God for his steadfast love and constant assuring presence. The faithfulness of God is unchanging and we are constantly reminded of his presence, his peace and his provision as he calls and equips us to be part of fulfilling his purposes in Scotland.  

For every person that Bethany has the privilege of reaching, we hear God’s heart, not only for each precious life that might be facing distress and suffering, but for families and communities across the nation:

“The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.” 

Numbers 6:24–26

Pray for Scotland

An estimated 20,000 to 27,000 children and young people each year are growing up with a parent in prison. Pray for these young people, the families, and the communities affected.

Pray for Bethany

85% of people we support through our Connect to Community service remain out of prison for a full 12 months (the expected national rate, without Bethany intervention, is 73%). Pray for blessing on this work and for every person nearing their release date this month.

Pray for Scotland

Volunteer Scotland is working to create a ‘Nation of Volunteers’ in 2026. Pray for the success of this initiative, and a sustainable and inclusive future for Scotland’s voluntary sector.

Pray for Bethany

Volunteering at Bethany can give people a sense of belonging and purpose, as well as being an opportunity to give back to your community. Pray that each of our services, offices and shops would continue to be welcoming and empowering places for volunteers to flourish.

Pray for Scotland

20% of adults living in Scotland experience feelings of loneliness each week, with people living in the most deprived areas twice as likely to suffer isolation. Pray for people across the country who feel alone.

Pray for Bethany

Bethany’s Community Support & Development teams are strategically located to support communities where isolation and loneliness are a particular challenge. Pray for relationships to flourish at each of these community meals, activity groups and recovery sessions.

Pray for Scotland

The Scottish government measures deprivation by creating an index that considers how deprived an area is across seven domains: Income, Employment, Education, Health, Access to services, Crime, and Housing (a new index is expected to be published in late 2026). Pray for those areas most affected by these domains.

Pray for Bethany

Bethany services deliberately focus on areas where deprivation is highest. This winter time, let us pray for each Bethany location, that every provision would be multiplied and that we would enter the new year with fresh zeal for our vision of ending homelessness in Scotland, one person at a time.
