Merciful Father, you are refuge and strength of all who suffer. We leave up to you those afflicted by natural disaster and human conflicts, those who have lost homes, loved ones and hope in the face of calamity. Embrace them with your love, heal their broken hearts, and restore their spirit. Inspire us to stand in solidarity with them, empowering their community to rebuild with dignity and courage.
We pray for the leaders and authorities in all countries to bring harmony where there is division, justice where there is oppression, and hope where there is despair. Grant them wisdom to seek dialogue, strength to uphold truth, and compassion to support people. May their work reflect Your call to be peacemakers, fostering unity and empowering community to shape our future of justice and love.
Loving Father, you call us to love our neighbors as ourselves. We pray for humanitarian aid workers who risk their lives to bring relief and hope to those in crisis and living in IDP camps. Protect our humanitarian workers, our colleagues and our volunteers from harm. Fill them with your grace and guide their hands to uplift local communities as partners and leaders.
May they selfless service shines as light in the darkness, uniting the world in your compassion.We make our prayer through our Lord Jesus, Your son who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever, Amen.
