Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up our brother Francios Tawoura to you. We thank you for his faith and his willingness to forgive, even in the face of great suffering and injustice. We pray for your healing touch upon his broken ribs, both physically and emotionally. Bring comfort and strength to him, Lord, as he continues to bear the scars of that terrible moment.
We also lift up the Christians in the Central African Republic who have faced persecution and violence. We pray for their safety and protection, Lord, as they navigate through these challenging times. Surround them with your angels and grant them courage and resilience to stand firm in their faith.
Lord, your Word teaches us to forgive our neighbors, even when they have wronged us. We pray that you would soften the hearts of those who have caused harm and bring them to a place of repentance and transformation. May your love and grace be poured out upon the perpetrators, that they may come to know you and experience your forgiveness.
We ask for your divine intervention in the Central African Republic, Lord. Bring peace and reconciliation to the land, and let your light shine brightly amidst the darkness. Empower your Church to be a beacon of hope and love, reaching out to those in need and sharing the message of salvation.
In the name of Jesus, we pray for justice, healing, and restoration for Francios Tawoura and all those who have suffered. May your kingdom come and your will be done in the Central African Republic and throughout the world.
Amen.
