Pause to Pray for Others

You are encouraged to continue to pray for all those affected by the coronavirus – in our community, in our nation and in our world – and for parts of the world in turmoil at this time – including Afghanistan and Ukraine

For family and friends and neighbours

For the work of Open Doors to be salt and light in our world

For NHS and Care Home staff across the nation

For our country and world leaders at this time
