Prayer starter

Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful - Hebrews 10:19-23

Jesus, we pray for Addis Ababa, that they would draw near to you. We pray that they would experience the washing away of their sin through the blood of Jesus. As they come to know you, we pray that they would be strong and steadfast in their faith. We ask that their roots would go down deep in you so they will stand strong, no matter what they face.
