The form of the main prayer is as follows: \u2018Lord, the God of righteousness and truth, grant to our King and his government, to Members of Parliament and all in positions of responsibility, the guidance of your Spirit. May they never lead the nation wrongly through love of power, desire to please, or unworthy ideals,<br \/>\n\u2018but laying aside all private interests and prejudices keep in mind their responsibility to seek to improve the condition of all mankind; so may your kingdom come and your name be hallowed. Amen.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>(In the video, I mistakenly say \u2018the\u2019 instead of \u2018his\u2019 government. It\u2019s important to remember the government is responsible to the king, because that puts it under the King of kings.)<\/p>\n<p>The House of Lords prayers follow much of the Church of England\u2019s Order for Morning Prayer, including a quote from Proverbs 8: \u2018Almighty God, by whom alone Kings reign, and Princes decree justice; and from whom alone cometh all counsel, wisdom, and understanding;\u2019<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s powerful stuff, beginning from the premise that almighty God is indeed interested and involved in the national affairs of men. And Christian prayers have had a formal place in Parliament for at least four hundred and fifty years. <u>Sign our petition<\/u>:<\/p>\n<p><a style=\"font-size: 18px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #ffff00; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; border-radius: 9px; background-color: #0000ff; border-top: 9px solid #0000FF; border-bottom: 9px solid #0000FF; border-right: 18px solid #0000FF; border-left: 18px solid #0000FF; display: inline-block;\" title=\"Opens in a new tab\" href=\"https:\/\/www.petitions.net\/return_to_the_uks_christian_constitution\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Return to the UK&#8217;s Christian Constitution \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>The motion<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_34563\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-34563\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/files-britain-eu-politics-brexit_465306ba-2f1c-11ea-96cb-8d9426408fe0.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-34563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/files-britain-eu-politics-brexit_465306ba-2f1c-11ea-96cb-8d9426408fe0-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"UK Parliament in session\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/files-britain-eu-politics-brexit_465306ba-2f1c-11ea-96cb-8d9426408fe0-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/files-britain-eu-politics-brexit_465306ba-2f1c-11ea-96cb-8d9426408fe0-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/files-britain-eu-politics-brexit_465306ba-2f1c-11ea-96cb-8d9426408fe0-750x422.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/files-britain-eu-politics-brexit_465306ba-2f1c-11ea-96cb-8d9426408fe0-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.christianvoice.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/files-britain-eu-politics-brexit_465306ba-2f1c-11ea-96cb-8d9426408fe0.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-34563\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">UK Parliament in session<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The secularist motion starts off by demanding: \u2018that religious worship should not play any part in the formal business of the House of Commons.\u2019 This is despite the United Kingdom having an explicit Christian constitution, most eloquently expressed, of course, in our monarch\u2019s coronation.<\/p>\n<p>On the 6th of May 2023, King Charles kissed the Holy Bible and was anointed by the Archbishop of Canterbury to rule in the name, and under the authority of, the Lord Jesus Christ, the King of kings.<\/p>\n<p>The motion continues to suggest having prayers means \u2018Parliamentary meetings\u2019 are not \u2018equally welcoming to all attendees\u2019, despite attendance being entirely voluntary.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the nub of their argument: \u2018Parliamentary prayers are not compatible with a society that respects the principles of freedom of and from religion\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Did you see what they did there? \u2018Freedom &#8230; from religion.\u2019 But of course, banning daily prayers would be to impose atheism on the United Kingdom.
