Gracious God, as charities unite as part of the Disasters Emergency Committee, we pray for the crisis unfolding in countries overseas. We pray for countries where people already live with the pain and suffering of war, conflict and poverty, where people have been displaced from their homes and are now dealing with the threat of Covid 19 against which they are defenceless. Lord God, we pray for wisdom, understanding, cooperation and a sense of urgency to deliver ppe equipment, medical resources and hygiene products to those communities most in need. We pray for strength and courage for medical staff and aid workers already working on the ground in difficult circumstances. Lord God, may we do whatever we can to support our brothers and sisters. We pray in the name of Jesus who reached out with hands of healing and compassion, Amen.
