Sunday Teaching: A Prayer For Nigeria In Distress


At this point in time where Nigeria is in distress and things are really falling apart every seconds, minute, day, week, month,year. Even though I might not be in the country at this present time, it is still my country, and I hear people talk everyday, I hear foreign people warning their families never to travel down to Nigeria. Our children refuse to head back home or visit because their teachers in school teach them every details of things happening in our country.  I see how some white people treat us over here just because they feel we are over crowding their country. At this point I have to say this prayer I have always learnt while in school for my dear country Nigeria. Please say this prayer...


 All powerful and merciful Father. You are the 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 have and are.

 We are sorry for all the sins we have committed and the good deeds we have failed to do. In your loving forgiveness, keep us safe from the punishments we deserved.

Lord, we are weighed down not only by uncertainties but also by moral, economic and political problems. we are weighed down by clueless and inept leaders. 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. Spare us bad leaders. Bless us with your kingdom of Justice, Love and Peace. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
