Dear Father, in the Name of Jesus, I pray for the nation and people of South Sudan. I thank you because peace reigns in this nation. By the power of your Spirit, hostility ends, stability grows and justice is continually established. I put to death the plans and machinations of the evil one to perpetuate violence in this country. The leaders act justly, and in the fear of the Lord. Peace and prosperity reigns in South Sudan. The Gospel advances in the nation and more people will be reached with the love of Christ. There is an increased ministry of the Spirit around South Sudan, resulting in a multiplied salvation of souls in the precious Name of Jesus. Amen!
