Pray for Sri Lanka
Eternal God,
Creator and sustainer of life,
Rescuer, redeemer, and reconciler,
Heal Sri Lanka.
Raise up the poor, protect the vulnerable,
Restore safety to all who have fled in fear.
Give your peace to the people; your wisdom to the government;
And your mercy to rebel and army soldiers alike.
As we celebrate the life your Kingdom brings,
Inspire us to work for you, to make your promise a reality.
May there be an end to the suffering and violence.
We ask for these things because of all that you suffered.
We hope for peace because of your great love.
Eternal God,
Creator and sustainer of life,
Rescuer, redeemer and reconciler,
Heal Sri Lanka.
Amen.
