Presbyterian United Nations Ministry
Gracious God of peace,
you break the bow;
you snap the spear asunder;
you make wars to cease.
We pray that you will
touch the hearts, the minds, and the spirits of
the leaders of Sudan
the peoples of Sudan
international leaders
and the peoples of the world.
Touch our hearts, our minds, our spirits.
Remind us all of your presence and grace
at all times and in all things.
Remind us that
in you, all things are made new throughout the earth,
in you, war is not inevitable in Sudan,
in you, peace with justice is possible in Sudan.
Reminded, may
the leaders of Sudan
the peoples of Sudan
international leaders
and the peoples of the world
act with compassion,
pursue that peace,
and establish that justice
throughout Sudan.
We pray in the name of Jesus Christ.
Amen.
