This week, we take a look at the escalating conflict between Thailand and Cambodia over unresolved territorial disputes, including the contentious area near the ancient Preah Vihear Temple. As tensions reach their tensest point in many years, we explore the historical roots of the disagreement, recent developments, and the geopolitical dynamics, especially involving the power play between the US and China. As always, we share heartfelt intentions and prayers aimed at encouraging peaceful dialogue between the two countries.  If you wish, you can go straight to our guided time of prayer and intention sending, and join with us in sending energy at: 11 minutes 22 seconds. Suggested Intention Focus for this week This week, as the border dispute between Cambodia and Thailand intensifies to one of its tensest stand-offs in recent years, we suggest holding as our main intention: We will that there will be a move among the governments and military leadership of both Thailand and Cambodia to avoid hasty or reactionary decisions that might escalate to military action between the two countries. Please join us in holding this.
