Pray with the global church

God of All Comfort, we lift the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda to You as they face the growing crisis of the Ebola outbreak. You who bore our griefs and carried our sorrows, bring healing to the afflicted and hope to the grieving families. Establish Your peace in these lands where fear and uncertainty reign. Sustain the healthcare workers laboring tirelessly, and reveal Jesus as the great Healer to those who are searching for hope amidst despair. Let Your wisdom guide the leaders and officials managing this crisis, and guard the vulnerable communities that are at risk. We ask all these things for the glory of Your name and the hope of many, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
