Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up East Africa, especially Ethiopia, to Your throne of grace. Lord, we pray for peace and stability in this region. We ask that You pour out Your abundant grace upon the people, providing them with strength and resilience against all forms of temptation and adversity.
Father, we remember Your promise in Philippians 1:9-11, and we pray that the love of the people in Ethiopia may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that they may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.
Lord, we also pray for the unity of Your Church in Ethiopia, as Jesus prayed in John 17:21, that all believers may be one, just as You are in Him and He is in You. May the Church in Ethiopia stand strong and united, shining as a light in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation .
We ask, Lord, that Your kingdom come and Your will be done in Ethiopia as it is in heaven. May Your Gospel spread throughout the land, breaking down every wall of division and bringing many to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
