Prayer for South Sudan

We pray for the many casualties of war in South Sudan
for those bereaved or injured by conflict
for those bereft of their homes and livelihoods
for those in need of medical treatment.

We pray for the work of Christian Aid and its partners,
for the distribution of food, fishing gear and seeds,
for soap, mosquito nets and water
for a safe space for children.

We pray for the work of your church in bringing peace
for a listening ear and understanding heart
for productive negotiations and lasting peace
for strength to walk the long road of rebuilding and reconciliation.
