    • National issues: that in the current financial uncertainties, God will give wisdom to those responsible for financial decision-making in our country, showing awareness especially of the many families already struggling
    • World issues: for the Russian people – may attitudes be changed because they learn the truth about the ongoing situation in Ukraine, especially as more Russians are conscripted to fight.

    O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer;
    give ear, O God of Jacob! Ps.84 V8
