Almighty God, we pray about the rescue
operation happening right now in the Nigerian city of Lagos, following the collapse of a four-story building
that included a school. With 100 students attending the school and only 40
pulled so far from the rubble, our hearts join with those families still
urgently seeking their children or for loved ones from other parts of the
building. Lord, we pray for your intervention in Lagos right now. We pray the
crowds will stay out of the way—that no gawkers will interfere, but only those
helping the search will stay in the vicinity. We pray for the safety of those
digging through the rubble, that no one else will get injured during this
desperate search. We pray for efficiency, the right equipment, good strategy,
endurance, and hope as people persevere in the search. Lord, we pray for all
who survived the collapse to be released from their entrapment before it is too
late. And we pray for quick and quality medical care for everyone who needs it.
Lord God, we are looking for more good news in Lagos today in the midst of the wrenching
grief. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
