Nigeria: 51st Independence Anniversary

Happy Independence Day to All Nigerians. Nigeria is 51, and it’s a time to reflect and also celebrate. Take a moment to say a little prayer for our country. It’s not been an easy road, but we’re somehow still here. Happy Independence Day, Prayer 4 Nigeria after the cut....

"Prayer for Nigeria in Distress": All-Powerful and Merciful Father, you are God of justice, love and peace. You rule over all the nations of the earth. Power and might are in your hands and no one can withstand you. We present our country, Nigeria, before you. We praise and thank you, for you are the source of all we are. We are sorry for all the sins we have committed and for good deeds we have failed to do. In your loving forgiveness keep us safe from the punishments we deserve. Lord, we are weighed down not only by uncertainties but also by moral, economic and political problems. Listen to the cries of your people who confidently turn to you. God of infinite goodness, our strength in adversity, our health in weakness, our comfort in sorrow, be merciful to us, your people, spare this nation, Nigeria, from chaos, anarchy and doom. Bless us with your kingdom of justice, love and peace. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
