A Prayer from Cameroon

Heavenly father, we humbly pray: 
Direct the leaders of our country, Cameroon, now in this time when terrorism is overtaking this great nation. Grant them wisdom and understanding, and help them to respond to this crisis, quickly and effectively. Direct them that they may do what is right in your sight.
May they follow your divine will to lead our nation on the paths of peace and safety.
Unite all response agencies in an organized and harmonious fashion to bring quick and effective resolution to the issues created by the actions of Boko Haram.
Empower us as Cameroonian citizens to do our own part, financially, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Give us strength to support all who have been affected by this tragedy.
O Lord, we also pray for effective eradication of corruption that is destroying our beautiful and rich country. Touch our heart and enlighten our thoughts so that we will use our resources for the benefit of the entire nation, for Africa and ultimately the whole world.
Bring peace and comfort to all those who are suffering as a result of these crises.
Surround us with your love and mercy!
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

(Catherine Manga, Cameroon)
