This week we pray for:

• For those that are struggling to find meaningful work and who may continue to be impacted by the reduction in government support
• Young people in the Uniting Church, that we may listen to their insights, their joys, their struggles and support them in their journey of faith
• For all people facing injustice and violence, especially the people of Vanuatu and the Philippines
• That we may all find the sustaining power of prayer as the ‘World Day of Prayer’ approaches.

In keeping with the recent National Day of Prayer and the World Day of Prayer taking place Friday 5th March it is timely to reflect on the power of prayer. When we pray God places strength under our prayers to support us. As we begin to speak to God, the Spirit immediately goes to work searching for the depths of what we need.
