Lord, give us your heart of compassion for all who suffer in Zimbabwe today,

and something of your passion for truth and righteousness,

that we may prayerfully support those front line workers of your kingdom

seeking freedom and justice for all.

(Rev Graham Shaw)

Instruments of Peace

Give us courage, O Lord, to stand up and be counted,

to stand up for those who cannot stand up for themselves,

to stand up for ourselves when it is needful for us to do so.

Let us fear nothing more than we fear you.

Let us love nothing more than we love you,

for thus we shall fear nothing also.

Let us have no other God before you,

whether nation or party or state or church.

Let us seek no other peace but the peace which is yours,

and make us its instruments,

opening our eyes and our ears and our hearts,

so that we should know always what work of peace

we may do for you.

(Alan Paton)

With Great Boldness

Now, Lord, consider their threats

and enable your servants to speak your word

with great boldness.

Stretch out your hand to heal

and perform miraculous signs and wonders

through the name of your holy servant Jesus.

(The believers’ prayer in Acts 4/20-30, following the release of the apostles Peter and John)

Victory is Ours

Goodness is stronger than evil;

Love is stronger than hate;

Light is stronger than darkness;

Life is stronger than death;

Victory is ours through Him who loves us.

(Desmond Tutu)

God bless Africa

God bless Africa;

Guard her children,

Guide her rulers,

And give her peace

For Jesus Christ’s sake.

Amen

(Trevor Huddleston)
