For God to strengthen and sustain those who work for peace between nations, including diplomats, negotiators, religious leaders and heads of state. We pray that they will find new ways to work though impasses, implement just and lasting peace agreements, and address the needs of those impacted by war and civil conflict.
For congregations going through challenging times, that they will find resources and assistance to renew their sense of mission and their resolve to be God’s loving presence in their communities.
