Praying for SA: will race war help any of us?

PRAYING for our beautiful country. Heavenly Father God. Please keep the people of South Africa safe in these uncertain times.

Almighty Lord, please calm the situation and help the leaders make the correct decisions to calm the situation and restore peace, Amen.

Praying for South Africa. Globally there is a consciousness and prayers are being said everywhere.

Praying for those who seek to divide and those who are somehow caught up in it.

Praying for healing. Praying for peace. Praying for stability. Praying for the innocent who are suffering. Praying for every single person who is hurting, in pain, traumatised, afraid, abandoned and alone.

Praying for the brave and courageous people who are standing up, standing together and protecting the helpless and those caught up in this chaos through no fault of their own.

Praying for a government to rule with integrity and honesty. Praying for unity, respect and honour to all the people of South Africa.

Praying the same for the world. We need to take a step back, all of us, and reflect on the situation. Is a race war going to benefit any of us?

There is anger understandably, on all sides, but expressing that anger violently is counterproductive to our harmonious development, and in essence, is futile ...

In the interest of peace, prosperity and rebuilding a better society for all of us, may I humbly request that we stop the racial war both on social media and on the ground.

Always be optimistic, hopeful, and positive that things are going to work out for our beloved country.

No matter what’s happening, you can decide right now with a shift of your mindset and a change of attitude that blessings will enter your life.

Never lose hope. Never stop believing.

God Bless South Africa. Guide our leaders and bring peace and justice to our dear Land.

Nkosi Sikel’ iAfrika.
