Pray and Reflect

Many of us will feel the need to respond through prayer at this time of crisis. We would encourage you all to pray for:

• An end to the conflicts and war, leading to a lasting peace in Syria, the Middle East and East Africa.
• Government from many countries who are seeking to help at this time, pray they are wise and generous. Pray for their diplomats as they seek a peaceful settlement to the conflicts.
• The families and individual who are displaced, moving to an unknown future; may they find welcome.
• Safety on the journey, particularly those travelling by sea, often in perilous conditions. Also pray for those on foot who travel as the weather deteriorates into winter.
• Those people and agencies who are directly seeking to help, support, feed and house people.
• For agencies and authorities trying to register, process and transport refugees; pray this is done orderly, but quickly, with compassion and care.
