A Prayer for Good to Overcome Evil, and for Peace to Come to Goma and DR Congo:

We thank you, Lord, for the peacemaking happening in Goma and across DR Congo. Thank you that you are bringing peace within people’s hearts, between individuals, among tribes. We pray for peacemakers to be raised up in communities big and small across the country, for good to overcome evil. We ask for your peace for DR Congo: not just a lack of conflict but a true, lasting peace that allows people to feel safe and know joy and hope for the future. 

Amen.

Church Mission Society.
