Pray with the global church

God of New Beginnings, we lift up the people of Sudan as maternity wards reopen, bringing hope and safe deliveries for mothers and babies amid post-war struggles. You who knit each child together in their mother's womb, let Your peace and protection surround these families in their time of joy and vulnerability. Establish these places of healing as sanctuaries of life and hope, and provide for the needs of mothers and children navigating economic hardships. Reveal Jesus as the source of comfort and strength to healthcare workers and families alike. Show them Jesus the Provider and Sustainer of all. Strengthen the church in Sudan to be a beacon of love and support for their communities, and let Your light shine in every corner of this land. May Your goodness and mercy follow them all the days of their lives, for Your glory and in the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.
