Ways to pray at home

The World
The conflict in Ukraine now extends to their independent orthodox church, which has asked for the removal of the Russian Orthodox presence following Putin’s refusal to agree to an Easter ceasefire. It is really difficult for us to grasp the overall situation. However when we hear that Russia has agreed to safe passage for evacuees from Mariupol, then within days that Russia is shelling the steel plant where Ukranian civilians are sheltering, we can draw some conclusions. In our continued prayers, we ask God to remember his people in such a terrible situation, and that they might know God hears and understands their plight. In our prayers this week, we focus on the Americas. The United States may be about to overturn women’s constitutional right to abortion, while many other parts of the world move in the opposite direction. May these decisions be informed and inspired and that God would overrule political decisions. We pray for 10,000 evacuees in New Mexico where a controlled burn is now blazing and is joined to another. A dozen blazes are impacting southwestern United States, caused, according to experts, by climate change with the expectation that they will become more widespread. March records indicate a widening in the US trade deficit as reliance on imports increased. Given China’s COVID situation, we pray for careful management and sharing of all our world’s resources.
Our City & State
With confirmation that the Commonwealth Games of 2026 will be held in Melbourne and four regional hubs, it will be a significant and much-needed boost to businesses and tourism in Melbourne and Victoria. Following the success of the F1 Grand Prix, the plans to host further international sporting events give a great opportunity.
