• The local elections, that the right people will get in who really care about our neighbourhood.
• Pray for protection for aid workers continuing to work in Gaza and for organisations who are assessing the situation regarding safety of their workers. Pray for the negotiations between Israel and Hamas taking place in Cairo.
• Pray for the remaining hostages held in Gaza, that they will be released and that they and their families will not give up hope. 
• With the US signing off a package of military aid for Ukraine, pray that the morale of Ukrainian soldiers will improve and that the people of Ukraine will be able to look to the future with hope.
• Pray for our local police. With West Midlands Police put in special measures and more than 30 police stations being threatened with closure pray that serving officers will not become disheartened and that Birmingham residents will feel safe.
• Pray for the elderly living in our community with their concerns around health and mobility, food security, anti- social behaviour and loneliness. Ask God how we at YWBC can identify those who may need help and inspiration as to how we can reach out to them.

Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with thanksgiving.

Colossians 4:2
