Lord, today we are thankful for good news from El Salvador. We
are so grateful that the 2015 “World Murder Capital” has halved its murder rate
for the past two months. We celebrate this progress! Please continue to
strengthen the government and law enforcement as they seek to isolate gang
leaders in high-security prisons, as well as crack down on gangs in other ways.
Motivate the gang leaders to continue their supposed “stand down,” realizing
that stopping the killing brings great relief and is the right thing to do. Protect
innocent civilians from gang extortion and violent threats. Prevent young
people from turning to gangs to have their social and material needs met. May
El Salvador become a great example of how to address violent crime so its
people can live with peace rather than fear. In Jesus’ powerful name we pray,
amen.
