Heavenly Father, we pray
for all passengers who were on the boat that sank Saturday in the Democratic
Republic of Congo. We are saddened by the nearly 50 people who died, including
young children. We pray with hope for the almost 200 people who are still
missing that there are a high number of survivors. Please aid the rescue
efforts in the coming weeks by providing the necessary resources, workers, and
conditions to make for a successful mission. Lord, we thank you with deep
gratitude for the remaining passengers who survived. We pray that you bless
their lives, ease their struggles, and keep them safe. We pray that the
country’s leaders will work hard to improve the living conditions for all
people. Guide them in making wise decisions, such as investing in
infrastructure, with a focus on safety and sustainability. We pray that you
will intercede and prevent any further loss of life due to poorly maintained
and overcrowded boats. We praise you for being our refuge and redeemer. In
Jesus’ name, amen.
