The unrest in Afghanistan has drawn attention of many Christians all over the world and a call for prayers over the nation is a concern for many.
The presiding bishop of Episcopal church Bishop Michael Curry offers prayers to Afghanistan.
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.
As many flee the country following the Taliban takeover of the country UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is announcing a resettlement scheme for Afghan refugees. Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said the situation at the airport in Kabul is “stabilising” and “we have made real progress” in getting people out of the country.
