It is no secret that we live in a corrupt world. Sadly, turning on the news has become a painful action we sometimes feel obligated to take. However, it is crucial that we are knowledgeable regarding current events so we are capable of taking action and changing the world. Some choose to volunteer time, some donate food, some give financially, and some pray. With the recent attacks in Paris, it seems that more have awakened to the tragedies that this world is unfortunately facing. Here, I have constructed a list of places/people/things that you can pray for alongside Paris, France. Of course, this list is in no specific order. All are equally deserving of awareness.

1. Pray for Paris and all those affected.

2. Pray for those affected by flooding in Southern India.

3. Pray for the 20 million+ adults and children who are exploited in human trafficking.

4. Pray for those affected by the bombings in Beirut.

5. Pray for racial equality.

6. Pray for the refugee crisis.

7. Pray for the millions of men, women, and children who are homeless.

8. Pray for families who have an empty seat at the table because of a school shooting.
