Tesco, despite a fall in sales is still trying to expand and take over the supermarket and convenience store markets. With an increasing market share, visible from the close proximity of stores even in Cambridge, some within less than a couple miles of each other, Tesco is taking over like lava overflowing from a volcano. This big Juggernaut is devouring many small businesses, which are suffering as a result.
Please pray that those who are dependent on small, family run businesses or small scale chains like Mace and specialised stores are not overwhelmed by the presence of Tesco, and that, if it is God’s will, they may be able to come up with ways of competing with Tesco to help them survive, and perhaps try to show Tesco its diminishing marginal returns of trying to expand too much. Amen.

Advanced Level exams are currently taking place until the end of January 2012. Many students, including myself have conditional offers from Universities and other apprenticeship or training schemes to fulfill. Most of them are based on grades, and with the highly competitive market for such ventures, students are really starting to feel the pressure—missing the grade by one mark may mean losing a place on the course/training of one’s choice, causing stress as students will then have to think about alternative next steps after Sixth Form. Please pray for all those affected, that they may be able to remain calm and collected and do their best so they can go to wherever it is God wants them to be. Amen.
Please pray for all God's children.
