Are you sometimes scared to switch on the news? It is easy to feel helpless, and for our prayers to be prayers of despair rather than faith. However, prayer really does change things. In this retreat we will explore how the Bible teaches us to pray for a world in crisis, using the powerful Psalms of Lament. We will also wrestle with some of the difficult, unanswered questions. Each morning we will gather to pray for a different continent, sharing exciting stories of how God is at work today. Mark has recently retired as Archdeacon of Blackburn. Gill has retired as diocesan president of Mothers’ Union.
