Pray with the global church

Sovereign Lord, we lift up the nations of East Africa as leaders unite to combat the Ebola outbreak. You are the healer of broken bodies and the sustainer of weary souls. Establish wisdom and cooperation among African leaders and health organizations as they implement the response plan. Guard the lives of those courageously serving on the front lines, and grant success to their efforts as they work to prevent the spread of disease. Comfort families who have lost loved ones, and let the hope of Your presence bring peace to communities in fear. Reveal Jesus to those who seek answers amid crisis and strengthen the believers in East Africa to be beacons of love and service. To You belong healing, guidance, strength, and glory through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
