Lord, South Sudan is such a young nation. There has been so much violence in its history—both leading to its creation and since its birth. Lord, we are thankful this nation is moving toward general elections this spring. Thank you that improving stability gives South Sudanese that confidence. We pray that, as the election approaches, the stability and growth would continue, rather than deteriorate. We pray for integrity among all those involved—both as candidates and those managing the actual political process. We pray for the people of South Sudan to choose honorable leaders and begin to develop into a God-fearing, stable nation. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
