Pray For The World

Unity in a time of division.

Pray For The World
Vyrso Voice

It's no secret that there is a lot going on in the world right now. It seems like everyday there is a new threat to be afraid of, a new injustice to be angry about or a new death toll to grieve over. In a time like this, it easy to get swept up in arguing over who is right and who is wrong. It's easy to get angry and in effect, create more division. The fact of the matter is that no amount of arguing or carefully thought out Facebook posts about political opinions will change things. This is not a problem humanity can fix. The world needs prayer.

" Humble yourselves before the Lord and He will lift you up in honor." James 4:10

-Pray for love and healing in the U.S. and throughout the world

-Pray for changed hearts across the world

-Pray that out of tragedy would come unity

-Pray for the healing of racism in the world

-Pray for an outpouring of forgiveness

-Pray for the comfort of the families who have lost loved ones

-Pray for the protection of those who continue to serve and protect our communities

-Pray for the leaders of our country and the future leaders of our country to be prepared and equipped to make wise decisions

-Pray that the church would take advantage of the opportunity to love and serve their communities

-Pray that division among people will close and we can come to a place of understanding and fellowship

Out of the darkness of recent events came come a great good. Let the chain of violence end here.
John 14: 27: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
