Heavenly Father, we are deeply
grateful that you freely offer wisdom (James 1:5). We pray today for Brazil,
where there is significant controversy over the appointment of evangelical Ricardo Lopes Dias as head of the department in charge
of protecting indigenous tribes from contact with non-indigenous people.
Lord, you see and know each member of the 107 non-contacted or barely contacted
indigenous groups living in the Amazon rainforest of Brazil. You know
what is best for them. To put someone who previously served with an
organization whose mission is to evangelize indigenous peoples is controversial
indeed. There are many layers to the concern. Lord God, we entrust this
situation to you. We ask for wisdom for the decision-makers in this scenario.
We ask for your protection of these tribes from anything that would harm them.
Lavish your wisdom on Brazil’s leaders as they grapple with this situation. We pray
for it to result in whatever is best. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
