Did seven days of prayer save Britain?

Seven national days of prayer were called for by the King at critical times throughout the Second World War. After each one, the natural chain of events which had been occurring suddenly changed and deliverance took place.

Looking back, clergyman Henry Albert Wilson wrote: “If ever a great nation was on the point of supreme and final disaster, and yet was saved and reinstated it was ourselves…it does not require an exceptionally religious mind to detect in all this the Hand of God.”

Similarly, Dr William Temple further declared: “We believe that He [God] Who led our fathers in ways so strange and has preserved our land in such a marvellous manner has a purpose for us…” (Part of that purpose was the eventual liberation of Europe).
