An estimated 2.3 billion people faced moderate or severe hunger last year, a number which may be on the rise now, with hundreds of millions starving or nearing starvation and 45 countries soon approaching famine status. More than half a million people in Ethiopia, South Sudan, Yemen and Madagascar are already in famine.
Today has been named Global Hunger Sunday in churches across the US, as Christians give what they can to help and pray for those in need. Let’s join together in prayer:
Lord, please have mercy on the millions who are hungry. Most are in countries torn apart by violence and terror, where Christians are persecuted and those who would bring food and medical and other aid are blocked. Please have mercy. So many children are dying, and women and girls especially are in danger of being trafficked. Please guard the innocent, O God. Prepare for them a future with Your love in it. Most of the millions in these 45 countries have never had the opportunity to hear Your good news. They have no Bible accessible to them and have never met a Christian. They’re hungry for something more in life, even more than food, but don’t even know You are the One they long for. Please make a way for Your gospel to get to them, so they can be saved. Open the doors wide for Christian doctors, missionaries and aid workers to enter these countries and take medicines and resources to those in need, along with a clear message of Your love and truth. For the Christians who are hiding because of persecution, suffering from hunger and need, please bless them so abundantly, they will abundantly share with their neighbors both from the bounty of Your hand and the bounty of Your love. Pour out Your miracles, Lord, and turn all eyes to You. Heal the sick. Make food appear where it was not before. Bring water from rocks. And do it in such a clear way, accompanied by Christians’ love, that all will see and know You are the One who did that. Empower and embolden Christians to spread Your good news and give the lost a hope for the future, not just here on Earth but for all eternity. O Father, we can’t even fathom what it must be like for mothers to watch their children starve to death, knowing they cannot help them. As people cry out, but don’t know where to find help, hear them and answer them, O Lord. Show them that You are the One they’ve been waiting for. Meet them in their dreams. Tell them of Your salvation. And bring food and water to them in such a way that they know it is You who is caring for their needs. Don’t let even one more person die without the chance to know You and experience Your great love. Awaken the hungry to You, O God. Awaken their hunger to be for Your love, and then heal them, feed them, save them, set them free and satisfy them completely with You.
