Please pray for my spiritual retreat this coming week. Ask for stress-free travel, a deepening of my relationship with the Lord, sweet rejuvenating rest, clarity, discernment and guidance from the retreat about what changes I need to make this year.

Continue to pray for the refugees who are being denied residency. For some, deportation can mean a death sentence or life in prison. Pray for God to move in the hearts of the authorities to give permission for them to stay here.

Continue to also pray for easy and seemingly impossible visa renewals for myself and others like me this year. Nothing is impossible with God.
