Lord, today we pray about the grievous
fire that broke out during the night at the
Gikomba market in Nairobi, Kenya. Heavenly Father, we are distraught about
the 15 people killed, including children, and the more than 70 injured. Please
make your presence known to those who grieve and to those fighting pain and fear.
Make a way for each of the injured to receive needed medical care, whether
formal or informal. Provide for those whose livelihood was destroyed through
the blaze. Give them the fortitude and resources to rebuild or begin a new
venture. May the people in this area be generous as they help neighbors who
have been negatively impacted by this fire. Lord, we would also like the truth
to come out about how the fire began. And we pray against fires in this area in
the future, particularly that potential arsonists would be overwhelmingly
convicted in their hearts before causing any damage; choosing to bring value
rather than destruction to their community. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
