Heavenly Father, we pray for the
children of Yemen, who are facing acute malnutrition and possible starvation as
a result of their nation’s six-year civil war. What a year 2020 has been in
Yemen, with the coronavirus pandemic, economic decline, floods, escalating
armed conflict and underfunding of this year’s global appeal for aid all
leading to 100,000 children now at risk of dying of starvation. Lord God, we
pray for the United Nations as leaders attempt to revive stalled peace talks so
this nation can begin to recover. We pray for humanitarian aid to arrive and be
effectively used—without corruption—for the most urgent needs. We pray for good
natural conditions to allow for bountiful crops. And, Lord, we pray for your
Holy Spirit to move through Yemen, drawing people to you and compelling your followers
to make a great difference during these desperate days. In Jesus’ name we pray,
amen.
