A Prayer For Zimbabwe

Dear Heavenly Father,

Gosh, You are so faithful and sovereign. Thank You so much for all that You have done and all that You are doing and all that You are planning to do in the future.

Lord, I lift up the country of Zimbabwe to You right now, Abba. Like it says in Jeremiah, You have plans for the people here—“plans to prosper [them] and not to harm [them], plans to give [them] hope and a future. Then [the citizens of Zimbabwe] will call on [You] and come and pray to [You], and [You] will listen to [them].” You declare that “[They] will seek [You] and find [You] when [they] seek [You] with all [their] heart.”

Abba, I know that You are a faithful Father who loves all of Your children—You will not forget nor abandon any of us. You are the perfect Father; reaching out trying to give us all the peace that You want us to receive from You—a peace that surpasses all understanding.

Lord, I pray, and proclaim, Your peace over the country of Zimbabwe and all of the people living here. I pray that in the midst of the hectic confusion that is happening right now that the people will turn their eyes towards You and keep them steadily fixed upon You and Your loving grace. I pray that the people here will rise above the confusion and fear, Lord, and keep their gaze so securely fixed upon You that they will be an example for the rest of the nations in Africa, as well as in the world.

I pray for the leaders of this nation, Lord. I pray that they will consult You in every decision and I pray that they know that You have plans for their lives. Without being too cliché, I pray that they understand the full weight of what Uncle Ben says in Spider-Man, “with great power comes great responsibility” and that they will take their power and responsibility and surrender them to You; knowing, and trusting, that You are the ultimate authority over everything and all of the earth.

Lord, I also pray for the next generation that is rising up. I pray that they will grasp a hold upon You with such a fiery passion in their hearts, Lord, that it will change the course of this nation for all eternity. I proclaim that You are grabbing ahold of the heart strings of the children here in Zimbabwe, Abba, and that they know that You are powerful and that You have set them here for such a time as this. I pray that they do not become dismayed and downcast and that they will continue to be filled with Your supernatural joy—that their hearts do not become hardened by the situations around them, but that they are lifted up singing endless praises to You all of the days of their lives.

Lord, I pray continued blessings, peace, and restoration within You for the country of Zimbabwe and all of the people here.

In the most holy and precious name of Jesus, I pray; Amen.
