Lord, today we pray for Colombia,
which is #50 on the World Watch List for persecution. We grieve about the decades
of conflict raging in Colombia, and about the criminal
organizations, drug cartels, revolutionaries and paramilitary groups who
control large portions of the nation. We pray for your peace to reign in
Colombia. Please protect your followers, who are particularly vulnerable to
these groups’ attacks. Heavenly Father, we also pray for the children of
Colombia. Please protect them from recruitment as soldiers into rebel groups,
such as Farc (Revolutionary Armed Focrces of
Colombia). May they resist empty offers of money
and shelter from these groups and choose to stay with their families. May the root issues of poverty that
make these children vulnerable be effectively addressed. We pray for the Colombian
government to seek you and walk with integrity. Give leaders divine wisdom in
how to address the multiple, deep-seated issues plaguing this nation. In Jesus’
name we pray, amen.
