Pray with the global church

God of All Comfort, we bring before You the people of Lubero, where the ADF has returned amid an already difficult time. The community reels from attacks and fears both violence and disease. Guard the believers in Maikengu, and let their presence be a light in these dark days. Reveal Jesus as the Great Healer, to those caught in the web of terror and illness. Restrain the actions of those who seek to spread fear and division. Let Your peace, which passes all understanding, shelter hearts across Lubero. Through Christ, may healing flow like streams in this weary land. Amen.
