Lord, we
have not forgotten South Sudan. For so many years people tried to get help for
those who lived in southern Sudan. The crises were heart-breaking. Now that
South Sudan has become its own nation, so many people have forgotten it, though
it is currently considered the world’s most fragile state. We are so sad that half
of South Sudanese children are malnourished. We are grieved about the armed
conflict that happened along ethnic lines in 2013, as well as the continuing violence.
Lord, please provide food for these children and their families. Please bring
healing to the countless girls and women who have been sexually assaulted
during these conflicts. Work in hearts to combat ethnic hatred. Bless Emmanuel
Christian College and other institutions having success diminishing prejudice
and violence. Bless the churches that run refugee camps for some of the
hundreds of thousands of refugees. Thank you for drawing people to you and
increasing church involvement. Reveal to us if there is any way we should
personally help. For now, we pray for South Sudan, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
