Bishop Curry's Prayer for Afghanistan

Presiding Bishop Michael Curry offers a prayer for the people of Afghanistan
 [Aug. 16, 2021]  Eternal God, hear our prayer for the peoples of Afghanistan. There is a profound humanitarian crisis. Countless people, mostly women and children, are now fleeing and vulnerable. The lives of many are now endangered. The hopes of many are forgone. Send your Spirit, Lord, to rally the resolve of the nations of the earth to find pathways to save human lives, protect human rights, and to resolve the hardships of those seeking refuge, asylum, and safety. Hear our prayer for the peoples of Afghanistan. This we pray as followers of Jesus, the Prince of Peace. Amen.
 
The Most Rev. Michael Bruce Curry
Presiding Bishop and Primate
The Episcopal Church
