Prayer for the Ebola outbreak

Loving God, you see us and know us. 

You are present with us in times of suffering.  

We pray to you for all people affected by the Ebola outbreak.  

Comfort those who are ill,  

Sustain those who grieve,  

Watch over those who deliver care.  

We pray for the safety and health of our partners and medical staff as they treat those affected.  

We pray for strength for communities and families in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda. 

We pray that breakthroughs will come swiftly as new vaccines and treatments are developed.  

We pray that the world would unite to take action and to support our global neighbours. 

Loving God, we ask this in Jesus’ name
