Righteous are you, O Lord, the Everlasting God. We bring the case of several countries before You and ask for mercy and justice. We plead for Zimbabwe, Ivory Coast, Mali, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Nigeria, Niger Togo, Burundi, Sudan, Rwanda, Burkina Faso, the Balkan states, the Middle East, North Korea, China, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Peru, Ecuador, Argentina, Venezuela Brazil, Central America, Philippines, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Chechnya and on it goes; country after country, nation after nation.
O Lord, why do the wicked prosper? Why do the treacherous thrive? How long will these lands mourn and the grass of the field wither? The evil of those who rule these countries have made the lands and people desolate. These countries mourn, but no one lays it to heart. O Lord, remember Your people. O Lord, rise and act on their behalf! O Lord, remember Your Name and attributes: Redeemer, Savior, Friend, Repairer of the Breach, One Who makes all things new. Come, Lord Jesus; come quickly! Remember all of these your sheep, O Gentle Shepherd.
Genesis 21.53; Judges 16.28; Jeremiah 12.1-2, 4, 11; 1 John 5.3,14-15
