Pray for:
Prayer of Science Related Predictions for 2023 – these predictions were listed online and in the Prophetic Prayer Journal.
1. In the face of the ongoing global climate emergency, it is expected that 2023 will be a year of recovery from natural disasters such as storms, floods, droughts, and wildfires. This recovery process will involve officials deciding whether and how to rebuild, taking into account the need to prepare for and mitigate the effects of climate change and to avoid perpetuating inequalities. There is a risk that adaptation efforts may be controlled by the influential rather than being fair and equitable.
2. The government is also starting to focus on privacy, antitrust, and the potential negative effects of excessive social media use, which could negatively impact the tech industry. Some tech companies that experienced success during the pandemic, such as Meta, Stripe, and Lyft, have had to lay off employees. The tech sector may experience a downturn as a result.
3. As the search for new psychiatric medications continues, psychedelics have shown potential as a treatment option. In 2023, the Food and Drug Administration may approve the use of MDMA for post-traumatic stress disorder. Esketamine, marketed under the brand name Spravato, was approved in 2019 as an antidepressant, and psilocybin is being tested as a treatment for major depression. While these substances are gaining recognition as legitimate treatments, experts at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have cautioned that they may be overhyped and should not be considered a universal solution.
4. There are currently many satellite constellations filling the night sky, and there are two manned space stations in operation. In 2023, there may be greater recognition of the need for stronger international protections for Earth’s orbital regions, as nations continue to develop new military capabilities in space.
5. Here are some of possible scientific events that we should pay attention to as 2023 begins. While public interest and funding for COVID research may be declining, the SARS-CoV-2 virus is still causing illness and death, and the long-term effects of COVID-19, also known as “long COVID,” are just beginning to be studied.
