Prayer starter

He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly. He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls. - 1 Peter 2:22-25

Lord Jesus, we thank you for the beautiful people of Burkina Faso. I pray that the eyes of the people would be opened to the one true God and that they would allow you to become Lord over their lives. We bind all fear and condemnation that might keep these people from knowing you. Lord, help them realize that through you all things are possible and that it is impossible to do anything our own way with our own strength.
