Lord, Throughout history, conflict, injustice, and deep wounds have marked the relationship between Indigenous peoples and the United States government. We humbly come before You, asking forgiveness for the oppressions, broken promises, and actions that have sown division, sorrow, and distrust across generations.
Heal what has been fractured, O Lord. Bring truth where there has been silence, and restoration where there has been loss. Soften hearts, renew understanding, and guide all people toward humility, repentance, and reconciliation. Let Your justice be tempered with mercy, and Your love be the bridge that unites what has long been divided.
We ask for Your continued guidance, that we may walk a better path forward—one marked by respect, honor, and genuine care for one another. Teach us to listen, to learn, and to love as You have called us to love.
Lord, we lift up and ask Your blessing upon American Indian, Alaska Native, Aleut, Eskimo, and Native Hawaiian peoples. Strengthen their communities, preserve their heritage, and surround them with peace, dignity, and hope. May their voices be heard, their histories honored, and their futures filled with Your grace.
Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone. Romans 12:18 NLT
“Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect.” — Chief Seattle of the Suquamish and Duwamish Peoples 1854

Operation World Pray for Italy : Christianity once thrived in Italy, but it soon became a formalized state religion. Today the majority of Italians are Roman Catholic by culture, but many distrust the Church. Some studies suggest as few as 3% faithfully practise Catholicism. The north is mostly secular, and the south has a mix of Catholic faith with folk superstitions. Those who do pray will more often pray to a saint than to Jesus. Satanism grows in some areas, and Turin acts as a global centre for its followers. Italians will more likely explore a New Age or pagan practice than explore the Bible. However, the Catholic Church does take action in society. It offers compassion ministries, and takes a stand against secular philosophies. Ask God to remove the many barriers that keep people from understanding the gospel.
