With people around the world continue to pray for those you have named, to come to know Jesus and to have faith in him, as Thy Kingdom Come continues through this week. Chosen to replace Judas Iscariot, Matthias, remembered on Tuesday, can stand for the continuity of apostleship. In our day we continue to claim and to declare the message of the first Apostles
This is ME Awareness Week. The number of people diagnosed with ME is growing substantially, and some 1.7 million people in the UK continue to have symptoms of Long Covid, which in many resembles ME. Pray that the ME Association may meet the challenge of offering support to all who need it.
Friday is World Hypertension Day and promotes better awareness of high blood pressure and its health impact. Pray for awareness campaigns and blood pressure screening, and for those at risk
to make the lifestyle and dietary changes that can help reduce the risk of strokes, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease etc.
Saturday is HIV Vaccine Awareness Day. Around 40 million people globally are living with HIV. Most receive vaccine treatment to control the virus, but as yet there is no vaccine to prevent someone acquiring the disease. The day celebrates achievements and supports ongoing research. Pray for all who need it to receive regular vaccine treatment, and for continued research.
Saturday is also International Museums Day: give thanks for museums as places of learning and discovery. Pray for small local museums, often under threat as grant sources dry up and local authorities are hard pressed.
Pray for all that encourages a love of gardens and gardening among children and young people. Pray for school gardens, community gardens, allotment associations, etc. Pray for young people in our schools and colleges as the season of GCSE and A Level Exams gets under way.

May is Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month when many will be doing the 50K run or walk to raise money for research into the disease. We pray for all who take part, especially those affected – as one friend told me – “I want to kiss goodbye to MS and my need for 9100 tablets and 2 infusions a year.” If you would like to donate, go to her fundraising page Here... Many thanks
