Dear Father in Heaven,

We pray for the countries in Africa that are going through decades of poverty. We pray for those who don’t have access to clean water, nutritious food and basic educational institutions.

Let there be peace in parts that are experiencing civil and militant wars.

Provide us wisdom and discernment regarding disease control measures, so that millions of those without basic healthcare can be saved from diseases.

We also pray for those on the ground in Africa, and those in the West who devise policies to eradicate poverty.  Your grace is boundless, and we seek your help in addressing poverty in Africa.

Amen.
