Pray with the global church

Lord of Hosts, we bring before You the cries for peace from Your people in Africa and beyond. You hear the voice of each one who longs for an end to violence, and Your arm is not too short to save. Dismantle the structures of hatred and conflict that have taken root across this land. Reveal Jesus to those who sow discord, that they might see the light of Christ and turn from their ways. Establish Your Kingdom here, where joy can flourish in places once filled with fear. Strengthen the believers who bear witness to Your love amidst danger, and sustain their courage. As You make wars cease in distant lands, may peace flow like a river through Africa. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus, our Savior. Amen.
