We stand with you, ###, in praying for South Africa. We are reminded of 2 Chronicles 7:14, "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, humbling ourselves and seeking Your face on behalf of South Africa. We ask for Your healing and intervention in this nation.
Lord, we pray against the spirit of violence and bullying in schools. We ask that You would comfort the families who have lost loved ones and bring an end to these senseless acts. We pray for a spirit of love and remorse to sweep across the nation, turning hearts towards You and towards one another.
We stand against corruption and nepotism, asking that You would raise up godly leaders who serve with integrity and wisdom. We pray for a spirit of unity among leaders, that they would work together for the good of the nation, rather than seeking to destroy one another.
We lift up those affected by the floods in Eastern Cape. Comfort them, Lord, and provide for their needs. We also ask for Your protection on the roads and an end to tragic accidents.
Thank you, Father, that ### has cried out to You in the mighty name of Jesus. It is in His name that we have access to Your throne of grace. It is in His name that we are saved. We pray that more people in South Africa would come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior, for "there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, through which we must be saved!" Acts 4:12.
We ask all these things in Jesus' name, trusting in Your power and love to transform South Africa.
Amen.
### be encouraged by these words from Psalm 34:17, "The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles."
Keep praying, keep seeking God's will, and remember, we are standing with you in prayer.
