Lord God, it has been months since we have heard
updates on “The New Light of God” cult
operating in the jungles of Panama. Yet they still need our prayers. We pray
for those who were tortured or whose loved ones were killed as part of this
cult’s brutal practices. Please continue to bring healing to them. May they
sleep peacefully, learn to trust again, and begin to understand you as the
loving God you are. We pray that this cult will not be lumped in with
Christianity in this nation, as none of the cult’s horrors reflect how you tell
us to live. Heavenly Father, we pray more broadly for this remote Ngabé Buglé
indigenous community. With 96 percent of its 214,000 residents living in extreme poverty, with
few schools, clinics, and roads, and with little local law enforcement, this is
an extremely vulnerable area. We pray for good to come from this tragedy:
that Panama as a nation will now turn its eyes to this region to bring healing,
resources, education, hope, literacy, medicine, peace. In Jesus’ loving name we
pray, amen.
