Living God, we bring before You the people and churches of Lakes State in South Sudan, where communal violence has scattered families and silenced voices that once sang Your praise. Rise as a shield for these believers and restore worship among them despite conflict. Guard those displaced by the clashes, sheltering them under the shadow of Your wings. Reveal Jesus to rival communities, breaking cycles of retribution with forgiveness and healing. Let Your peace surpass understanding in places where turmoil has been long-standing. May Your Spirit move powerfully, sustaining those who remain steadfast in faith amid such trials. In the name of Jesus, our refuge and fortress, Amen.
