We ask You to intervene in the mind-set that we are entitled, and turn us once again into a grateful nation.
He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? Micah 6:8 ESV
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness….That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.” The Declaration of Independence
Operation World : Pray for Eswatini : Eswatini is the last absolute monarchy in sub-Saharan Africa. The contrast between the lavish lifestyle of the king (and his 14 wives) and the poverty that grips more than half of the population is alarming. Around 25% of the workforce is unemployed, while the economic situation continues to decline. The constitution banned political parties, and the lack of democracy and human rights suppress change and make positive progress very difficult. Pray that the King might see his position not as a privilege but as a responsibility to serve his people and his land. Pray that Christians might be at the heart of grassroots movements that care for the neediest in Eswatini.
Pray for Suriname : Suriname faced confusion in the years after independence. Many people lost their way with morals and ethics. Race and religion still divide people, and this blocks political and social progress for the nation. Powerful crime rings traffic drugs and smuggle gold, and they appear unstoppable. Pray for godly leadership for this young nation.
[Love] does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. I Corinthians 13:6 (ESV)
