That number increases significantly with each passing moment, each passing day.....
We pray for the people of Darfur who have been terrorized and forced from their homes- those who have fled refugee camps, and who still live in fear
We pray for those who have died, and for their families;
We pray for the women in Darfur who face danger every day as they leave their camps for firewood- may You watch over Your daughters;
We pray for the children of Darfur, especially those who face a frightening world without one or both of their parens- may they be protected and comforted;
We pray for the safety of the humanitarian aid workers as they feed and care for the people of Darfur;
We pray for the safety of the African Union's mission in Darfur as they work in difficult circumstances;
We pray that the world's leaders will be guide by You in their quest for justice and safety for Darfur's people- may they be inspired by Your humanity;
Remind us that we are all your children, and teach us to listen;
We pray that those who are causing death and misery in Darfur will turn away from racism and violence- may they be forgiven when they turn to You for guidance instead;
Teach us to rejoice in all the things we have in common and respect each other's differences;
We pray that people everywhere will strive to live in peace, tolerance and respect no matter what their faith or race- may we gain the wisdom, grace and generosity of spirit to overcome our differences and live as one.
