Prayer for World Food Day (from some of our supporters in Scotland)

Dear God,

We pray that you will bless the work of the farmers’ hands who are growing food for themselves and their families. We pray for the parents who are trying to feed their children, and that people will be able to wake up and not worry where their next meal is coming from. We ask that you would provide miraculously in places where there are no resources or nutrients. We pray that people would be more aware of the situation of hunger in the world. We pray for world leaders – for wisdom and clarity for them in what to do. We pray for Tearfund’s response to be quick and sustainable, and to have a lasting impact for years to come – to fight against hunger and famine.
In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Inspired Individuals in Central Asian States

Pray for our Inspired Individuals (people Tearfund helps to equip as they work on their own initiatives to respond to issues such as extreme poverty) in Central Asia, who are making an impact in local communities and finding ways for the local church to be a centre of transformation among challenging contexts. Pray for strength and resilience for them as they continue the good work in Central Asian States.

Pray for the church in Pakistan

Heavenly Father, we thank you for the church in Pakistan – for their endurance, their faith and their courage despite so many hardships. We give you thanks for every life touched and transformed through your church. Grant them wisdom as they lead change, courage as they advocate, and peace in times of trouble. We thank you for the work of Tearfund and its partners. Strengthen them in all they do, and help every initiative flourish. May your light shine brightly through your people, bringing hope and transforming lives. All for your glory. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
