Prayer of the Day: South Africa

As the World Cup shines the public spotlight on South Africa, we celebrate the victories you have won through your people there: overcoming legalized apartheid, encouraging repentance, forgiveness and reconciliation, and moving toward a truly rainbow nation. Yet we also pray for the work that continues: the continuing struggle against the after-effects of institutionalized racism, endemic poverty, the high rate of HIV/AIDS, and human trafficking. May your kingdom come and your will be done in South Africa, as in all the world. Amen.
