Pray with the global church

God of Compassion and Order, we lift up Venezuela in the wake of devastating earthquakes. Thousands mourn, and the earth itself groans beneath the weight of such loss. You are not a God of confusion but of peace — bring clarity and wisdom to the leaders and responders navigating this crisis. Raise up skilled and diligent leaders, that their hands may be deft and their hearts discerning, like those who diligently perform their work before kings. Strengthen the Church in Venezuela to be a beacon of hope and comfort, revealing Jesus to those in anguish. May Your Spirit move mightily among all the people, drawing many to the refuge and strength found in You alone. For the sake of Your kingdom and glory, we pray through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
