Lord, we are sickened by what is happening in Pakistan prior
to its July 25 general election. We are so weary of terror, so tired of people
destroying innocent lives in order to make a political point. We pray for the
people of Pakistan today as they recover from at least three bombings this week
alone—with more than 150 people killed and over 300 people injured. We know
that these are not just numbers. These are real people who leave behind
grieving loved ones. The injured will need immediate and long-term medical
care, they will miss work, their lives will be changed. Heavenly Father, we
pray against terrorism in this nation as the election approaches. May those who
are tempted to destroy see the vileness of this tactic. May they choose
healthier ways of expressing themselves. And may men and women of integrity not
fear to stand up and speak. Protect those who would bring good to Pakistan and
this world through their election to public office. May this election move
forward with minimal violence. May the best people be elected to office in
Pakistan for such a time as this. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
Please keep praying for Pakistan as the election approaches: https://www.cnn.com/2018/07/19/asia/pakistan-election-frontrunners-intl/index.html
