Almighty God, we pray for Haiti as the nation reels
from the assassination of its president. We pray for the manhunt underway for
the assassins. Lord, whether the perpetrators are in Haiti or abroad, may they
be found and brought to justice. May the truth of what lies behind this plot
come to light. Father, we pray for the president's widow, Martine Moise,
as she fights for her life in a Florida hospital. May she receive exceptional
care. May supportive people gather around her to help her recover physically,
emotionally and spiritually. We pray for interim Prime Minister Claude Joseph,
who has assumed the leadership of the country. May he lead well in this time of
crisis or quickly be replaced. Lord God, Haitians have suffered for a long
time. We grieve this new tragedy. May a silver lining be revealed in the dark
cloud; may this terrible event ultimately lead to the addressing of big-picture,
long-term issues. Make yourself known in Haiti in this dark hour. Draw people
to you. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
