I hope that these emails and prayers are useful, and that you are able to spend a few minutes at noon each day, as we pray together as a church family. Please do keep sending your prayer suggestions to me, so that we can make sure we are praying around the needs, burdens and encouragements of our whole church family.

Loving Father, we pray for Lebanon as the country continues with damage control and begins to look ahead and rebuild, with many people hoping for reform.

Amen

We pray for good decisions as COVID-19 is monitored across the UK; please help the government to respond well to changes and to the needs of our country.
