There is a serious human rights issue effectings the lives of Zimbabwe's neediest citizens and it needs global attention! I hope the nations rise to the defense of (and find a way to help deliver) these people from these circumstances. People are not trash, and this is a travesty.

Please join me in praying for those who are now homeless...

Father, In the name of Jesus Christ...
~
We stand before your holy throne of grace
and are standing in the gap
for the poor and needy of Zimbabwe,
many who have been cast from their homes
and driven out of their towns and neighborhoods.
~
Send in missions and relief organizations
to care for and find ways to help them.
Deliver them from this terrible plight!
~
Give them a spirit of hope and
let them have opportunity to hear &
receive Your Word into their hearts,
and all Your promises that follow.
~
Father, Restore the cold hearts of stone
who have shown them no mercy
back into repentant hearts of flesh.
Forgive those who have mercilessly treated them,
for truly they do not know what they do.
~
Lord, we trust that your hand is on this situation
and on this people and Your will shall be done.
~
In the name of Jesus, we give thanks and praise!
Amen
