As many of us have woken today hoping the news from Manchester last night was just a horrible nightmare, we ask you to share and mobilise so that we can respond prayerfully and effectively.

First and foremost please remember Manchester in your prayers:
For those who are now fighting for their lives and for those who are caring for them.
For the families, friends and colleagues of the 22 who have died (we understand many of them are children).
For those shocked and traumatised.
For the Paramedics and those at the hospitals who have to respond to this emergency.
For the Chief Constable Ian Hopkins and GMP Police as they gather evidence and deal with the public.
For the staff of the Manchester Arena who will be traumatised and deeply affected.
For Andy Burnham and the officials of Manchester as they respond.
For COBRA and the government as they meet this morning.

PRAY FOR THE UK DURING THIS TIME OF VULNERABILITY:
That the Lord will expose all future evil agendas before they are actioned.
For those involved in terrorist activities to be caught ASAP.
For governments and security forces to liaise and share important security information.
God's love will draw all people to salvation.

PRAY AT HOME, IN YOUR CHURCH OR IN GROUPS

A number of national Prayer Ministries have joined together to call the nations to prayer. 

We suggest you may like to pray every day, covering the issues that are locally, nationally and internationally relevant. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you as to what to pray for and how to pray. Keep an eye on the news and respond in prayer.

What?
We are looking to mobilise effective informed united prayer across our nations by praying for God’s wisdom, revelation, insight and protection for:
1. Government and World Leaders.
2. Police and Emergency Services
3. Armed forces
4. Intelligence Services
5. Media and communications
6. ISIS and others who may wish to cause danger.
7. Angelic protection.
8. An unprecedented move of God across our communities and nations.
9. Vulnerable areas - tunnels, stadiums, airports, the Euro tunnel, theatres, schools, colleges and shopping areas etc. Anywhere that large numbers of people gather.

Why?
1. To provide mercy and protection to reduce the danger to life and limb from attacks for our communities and nations.
2. To release a clear trumpet call to those in the valley of decision.
3. To reduce fear and hopelessness - The aim of terror is to bring fear, confusion, hatred – we stand against that in the name of Jesus because his perfect love casts out fear.
4. To bring any plots into the light before they are actioned.
5. To see the Church arise and stand united around Jesus love.
