Author Insight

While we feast, they starve

In the Christmas season, as we enjoy special meals and treats, there are thousands of people starving. I'm particularly aware of the famine in East Africa since I lived there for many years. Somalia, Ethiopia, South Sudan, Sudan, and Kenya are all affected. Less than 50% of the money needed for aid has been promised. What do parents tell their starving children? So, while we feast, let's pray for provision for those in dire need.

Book Excerpt

Praying for BIG Things

Famine

L ORD, watch over those who fear you and rely on your unfailing love. Rescue them from death and keep them alive in this time of famine. Cause them to put their hope in you, LORD, for you are their help and shield. Cause their hearts to rejoice in you and to trust in your holy name. Let your unfailing love surround them, LORD, and let their hope be in you alone.

LORD, in your mercy, hear our prayer.

Based on Psalm 33:18-22
