Keep praying for Nepal.

 The flurry of messages yesterday from Nepal all said the same thing, "heartbroken". As one friend put it so eloquently "What began as a movement with noble intentions was tragically hijacked, turning into violence, destruction, and fear. Lives have been lost, public properties destroyed, and hearts wounded."

Multiple videos of anger and brutal beatings were opened in many apps. Of greater importance than the tech however were the lives destroyed and the depth of despair at the reality unfolding. The conversation has dramatically moved in 48 hours. Following government resignations, it was not enough to quell anger, readdress the situation. Mass protests and mobs ignored curfews, the police and army ordered to control the outbreak said "no", "we are here to look after our people". Familiar, well known streets became unrecognisable places of fire, vilence and devastation. Anarchy was reality (Judges 21:25). The situation now shows some stability with only essential vehicles on the roads.

"We don't need a corrupt government" and "Youth cannot be killed"

Government building as PM resigns and numerous ministers.

Healing for the wounded – physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Comfort for the bereaved families who have lost loved ones in this chaos.

Wisdom for national leaders to act with integrity, humility, and a commitment to justice.

Restoration of peace and security in every community and street.

Cleansing of corruption and greed from our politics and society.

Rebuilding of trust and reconciliation among diverse communities.

The Church to rise as a beacon of light – showing forgiveness, serving the needy, and proclaiming the hope of Christ.

Pray for THE LORD to work through His people, proclaiming good news to the poor, binding up the broken hearted, proclaiming freedom to the captives, seeing prisoners realeased from darkness.
