Pray with the global church

God of Compassion and Healing, we bring before You the suffering people of Congo as Ebola claims more lives. You are the refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Establish Your peace in the hearts of families grieved by loss, and sustain the healthcare workers risking their lives to offer care and hope. Reveal Jesus as the Healer to those who despair, and let the light of Your compassion shine in the midst of this darkness. Restrain the spread of this virus and grant wisdom to those seeking solutions. Let Your glory be known in Congo as You turn mourning into joy and bring beauty from ashes. Through Christ, our Redeemer, we entrust this land to Your mercy and grace. Amen.
