Lord, today we pray for Somalis whose livelihoods depend
upon herding. It is painful to hear of flocks being decimated by the drought--hundreds
of animals from a single herd dying of dehydration, starvation and disease. Lord,
we pray for the people of Somalia. We pray for aid from you and from others in
the midst of this drought, this national disaster. We pray for the animal
vaccination programs to be successful. We pray for the expected rain in April
to be not too much, not too little. We pray for families who are separated as
herders risk long journeys in the hopes of finding better pasturelands, that
they would survive literally and as family units. And we pray for the
infrastructure within Somalia, which has been broken for far too long. May wise
leaders rise up on every level to truly seek the best of this nation. And may
other nations do their part to reach out with generosity and concern to their
Somali neighbors. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
