This month we pray that in times of fear, conflict and uncertainty that all people will know the peace and refuge that comes from God.
We are particularly praying for refugees during Refugee Week, 19-25 June 2017. Today, there are over 65 million people worldwide forcibly displaced because of conflict and persecution. Of these, over 4.8 million are Syrians who have fled from their country because of violence, conflict, and a complete collapse of Syria’s infrastructure since the war started in 2011. All We Can is helping vulnerable refugees in Jordan and Lebanon
Please pray for:
Some of the local communities All We Can works with have had conflict in their recent past, such as Uganda and Burundi, which has resulted in people needing to rebuild their lives. All We Can is helping individuals to develop their livelihoods so that they might be able to provide for the needs of their families. Please pray for:
In parts of East Africa, there is much unrest and uncertainty as people search for food. In February this year, All We Can launched its East Africa Famine Appeal, which has gained significant support read more about it here). Please pray for:
Psalm 46.1 “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.”
Loving God,
In times of uncertainty and unrest
we thank you that you are present with your peace.
In times where the surge of fear seems great,
we thank you that your strength in us is even greater.
In times of trouble,
we thank you that you welcome us into your refuge.
Help us to take your peace, strength and refuge into our broken world.
Amen
