The President and Vice-President of the Methodist Conference pray for Venezuela following US military strikes.
Almighty God, whose Son is called Prince of Peace,
We ask for the peace of Christ to reign in Venezuela.
We ask that you touch and move the hearts of all those intervening, bearing arms or calling for armed resistance.
May they be moved to seek a peaceful solution for the good of the nation.
We pray that the hearts of communities all over the country, especially those close to the strikes, will not be dismayed.
We pray that they will find the strength to turn to God for help in this time of trouble, remembering that God upholds them with his righteous right hand.
We pray for our partner church in Venezuela, the CCMV, that you grant its members peace during these disturbing times.
We pray, Lord, that you will strengthen their resolve to continue incarnating the faith, hope and love of Christ in their communities.
We join with our Venezuelan Methodist family in asking that your good, acceptable and perfect will be done in Venezuela and in the church.
In Christ’s name we pray, Amen.
