Pause to Pray for Others
On this particular day in November…as the nation and the world remembers and still wrestles with new cases of the coronavirus and vaccine supplies…and other points of crisis and concern… you are invited to pause and continue to pray with others in our city and across the nation…to the LORD our God, our Father God.
You are encouraged 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
For family and friends and neighbours
For those grieving and mourning the loss of a loved one especially at this time of the year
For NHS and Care Home staff across the nation
For our country and world leaders at this time of decision making as COP26 continues
