Day Thirty of Forty


Rwanda

Dear Lord, this tiny country has been through terrible and awful places. The people have experienced horrors my mind can't imagine. Genocide is beyond my comprehension.

Although the "war" is now over and the people are doing well together, they still have hurts that are slowly, slowly mending.

We are asking you to heal the broken hearts, mend the torn relationships, give them the grace to honor one another and treat each other as Jesus would do.

Restore their spirits. Touch their lives with your mercy.

Especially we pray for the children. Erase from their memories the horrors of that day. May each one come to know you and serve you.

Fill their hearts with your love.

In Jesus' name,
Amen
