Our church is doing a fast and prayer for this on Sunday. I thought I would share this invitation with anyone who might like to join in, uniting their own faith and prayers.

Here's the list of five things we're asked to pray for:

The purpose of this fast is five-fold:

To ask the Lord to bless and inspire our leaders and their efforts to protect the health and well-being of all people and to find solutions to address the challenges we are facing in all nations.
To pray for all those who are suffering the physical, emotional, and economic impact of COVID-19, that they will be blessed according to their needs.
To pray that the hearts of people everywhere will be softened and turned toward the Lord in humility and that faith in Jesus Christ would increase on the earth.
To pray for spiritual strength to overcome fear and anxiety, for inspiration to protect ourselves and our families, and for the awareness and ability to minister to those in need.
To pray for increased understanding and personal revelation in preparation for the prophetic guidance and messages regarding the bicentennial of the restoration.

below is the invitation from President Russell Nelson. He was a pioneer in cardiac surgery for many years, before retiring in the 1980's and becoming a full-time church leader.

eta: just wanted to add, this is going out to our membership in whatever country they live, as everyone is affected.
