Lord, today we pray about the fire in the Lang'ata neighborhood of Nairobi
that killed four people last night and left approximately 6000 homeless. We are
grateful for the firefighters’ prompt and efficient response, but devastated
that a lack of water prevented them from containing the fire for about eight
hours. Heavenly Father, we first pray for those who are grieving the loss of
loved ones. Please comfort them in this dark hour. Next, we pray for the
thousands who now find themselves homeless. Please provide for their needs. May
Nairobi’s citizens and leaders reach out in generosity and wisdom, meeting
immediate needs and discerning adequate long-term solutions for these individuals
and families who now find themselves in these dire circumstances. Finally, Lord, we
pray that fire trucks in Nairobi will never find themselves running out of
water again. May city leaders determine how to prevent this from happening. May
promises for better trucks and improved service come to fruition. And may any faults
in current plans and operations come to light so they can be corrected. We pray
in Jesus’ name, amen.
