Prayer Priorities – September 27, 2022
“And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.â€
Phil 4:7
We encourage everyone who is praying for UMN not only to raise our requests but to listen to God on UMN’s behalf. Please take time to read this Bible verse slowly to yourself. Pause and ask God to speak through His Word. Then read it slowly again. Settle and calm your mind before you pray.

Prayer
- Let’s continue praying for the control of dengue. As of 27 Sep, it has already claimed 30 lives in Nepal. A total of around 21,000 dengue cases have been identified in Bagmati Province alone. Pray that the government and concerned medical departments would be able to take ample measures to control and prevent this. Pray for safety of UMN staff in Clusters, Hospitals and Thapathali.
- Let’s continue praying for safety during the festive season. The number of road accidents, street crimes, theft and pickpocketing might also increase during this time. So, let’s pray for the safety and security of people as they travel and pray that no crime would take place rather joy and peace would prevail and reign in the hearts of the people during Dashain.

Tansen Hospital
- A little 8th month old came to Tansen desperately sick with a new diagnosis of diabetes. Praise God that despite so many challenges he made it home and his parents have learned the necessary skills of giving him insulin he will need for life. Pray that God would have grace and mercy upon him and enable his family to take care of him.
- Pray for our staff working through the festival period. While routine medical work slows down, the emergency work increases as other centres have limited services available. People often travel a long way and are very sick by their arrival at this time of year.
