Tragedy has been front and centre across the globe for the past few years.
The war in Ukraine is quickly approaching its second anniversary, while the Israel/Gaza conflict heads into its fourth month.
"We are especially heartbroken for the Christian community in Palestine, who find themselves caught in the middle, struggling to hold on to their presence in the Holy Land," said The Anglican Chruch of Canada in a statement online.
With no end in sight, the Anglican Church of Canada has partnered with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada to host a Day of Prayer and Fasting for Israel/Gaza and Ukraine on Friday.
"These conflicts show no signs of ending soon. Our hearts are filled with pain as we watch this human tragedy unfold, yet feel powerless to help. We do know that God continues to be present with us and with all who are suffering. We can lift our voices and hearts in united prayer, trusting that God is listening and acting."
Participants are encouraged to fast from whatever is appropriate in their lives, whether it be social media, food, computer time or television.
"During the day, whenever your heart remembers or at times you designate, you can stop and pray. You may use the prayers resources or simply cry from your heart to God about the situations in Israel/Palestine/Gaza and Ukraine. You may gather with friends, family or church members.
To conclude the day, Bishop Susan Johnson of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada and Primate Linda Nicholls of the Anglican Church of Canada will host a 30-minute prayer service on Facebook Live.
