Dear friends, let us not forget to pray for our brothers and sisters in Abyei. There has been a lot of unrest in that area. We seek for non-violence and a peaceful resolution between unnamed armed groups involved.
Abyei is in the middle, right between the borders of Sudan and South Sudan—a highly contested area between the two sovereign nations. Regardless of whose territory it is, humans are humans, and they are all the children of the Almighty God.
Let us pray for:
• an effective and fruitful peace in the area
• those who have lost their loved ones, their families, or friends, that they may find solace in the LORD and that they may be helped to get through this time of hardship in the chaos of armed conflicts
• aid for those affected by the fighting, that they may receive basic necessities such as food, water, clothing, and a place to rest their heads
• pray for governments of both countries to act with wisdom as they address this growing issue, that they may do what's best for the lives of those that call Abyei their home.
May the Lord be with those in Abyei, and may His presence and love be felt by everyone.
