Lord, we continue to pray for Burundi. Our stomachs churn
when we hear of possible mass graves being discovered. What kinds of atrocities
may come to light? Lord, you see all. Please bring truth to light. Bring
justice to the oppressed and to the widows and orphans in that nation. Vindicate
the righteous. We pray for President Nkurunziza to accept peacekeeping troops in order to prevent
Burundi from sliding into ethnic conflict. May the president consider
the best for his people, rather than for his regime. Lord, this is the second
poorest nation in the world. We pray for the Long Miles Coffee Project and
similar organizations that are trying to address the poverty and
purposelessness so many Burundians face. Yet violence and strife prevent these
companies from accomplishing their purpose. Bring healing to this land so the
violence may cease and the greater needs be addressed. Help godly Burundians to
rise up and set examples in eliminating the hatred and violence, in creating
strong businesses, in raising healthy families. In Jesus’ powerful name we
pray, amen.
