Pray with the global church

God of Comfort and Refuge, we lift up the people of Nuristan in the aftermath of devastating floods. Lives have been lost, and many remain missing amidst the chaos and destruction. You are close to the brokenhearted and save those crushed in spirit; extend Your comfort to grieving families and those waiting for news of their loved ones. Establish Your peace in the hearts of those who are anxious and fearful. Reveal Jesus to officials and aid workers as they respond to this crisis, and let Your compassion flow through their hands. Strengthen the church in Afghanistan to be a light in this dark hour, and let the hope of Christ shine brightly in places of despair. We entrust the people of Nuristan to Your faithful care, for You are their refuge and strength. In the name of Jesus, our Savior, Amen.
