Heavenly Father, today we pray about
water access talks taking place between three African nations as Ethiopia
continues building its massive Grand Ethiopian
Renaissance Dam on the Blue Nile, near the border with Sudan. Lord, you
look down at the earth and see this river, so small in your eyes, yet a seeming
source of life for the people of Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan. God, you know the
nature of humankind even better than we do, so we all know that this could
potentially lead to great trouble within these countries. We pray for these
nations to employ political wisdom, compromise and goodwill as they seek to
resolve conflicts—both present and potential--that are arising as a result of
Ethiopia now gaining control of this river. May these nations also be
transparent, honest and effective in their data-sharing. We pray against
any conflict that would lead to drought and death. May this situation actually
lead to these nations developing even better, more generous relationships with
each other. And may all those involved acknowledge you as the true source of
life. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
