Let’s pray these nations will awaken to Christ’s love.
Father God, please comfort those who mourn, heal those who are injured, rescue those in danger, bring an end to violence, and give wisdom to those in power as they deal with each of these situations. But most of all, Lord, we ask You to awaken every heart — both victims and violent offenders — to You. Steal into their dreams, meet them throughout the day, get up in their face, invade their space, and show them who You truly are. Tear down every wall, remove the plaster from the spiritual eyes of the lost, and let them see You as You truly are. Visit them relentlessly until every person knows how to be saved. Give them a hunger for You so deep they will lay down whatever they’re holding onto that is not You, and surrender to Your love. Give Christians in each of these situations and nations favor and bless them so abundantly they will have more than enough to share with those in need. Catch hearts on fire for Your purposes, O God. Begin a church planting movement in each of these countries that spreads out across the world, turning every heart to You. Change the face of the land, so that what once was a spiritual desert now flows with streams of Your Living Water. May every heart taste and see that You are good and surrender to Your grace and love. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
