Prayer for Nigeria

Dear Lord,

I want to -on behalf of our great nation Nigeria, thank you for thus far you've helped us.
Colonial masters have come and gone.
Civil war too came and we were not all consumed.
Several bloody and few peaceful elections have we experienced and to none did we loose our nationhood.
The military have shown us what they've got through their unbendable rules and Rule yet we're still standing tall.
There had been plane crashes, rail accidents, shipwrecks, and innumerable road accidents but none resulted to the death of our dear country.
Famine came but could not starve us of our natural and human resources.
Flood and other natural disasters did their worst but we were not swept away.
SARS, Ebola and other deadly diseases have paid their uncourtesy visits and we showed them the back of our hands.
Militants emerged with bitterness and we led them straight to where they can be made better.
Boko Haram seems to have come to stay but we're sure to only hear about them in books of history soon.

For our amiable President -Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, I pray;
that you strengthen him at this point when all odds are up against him.
that you endow him with much more godly wisdom and knowledge.
that you direct him in the way he should go and guide him in the manner he should act.
that you grant him the ability to say NO when that is the most appropriate answer and YES when inappropriate NOs is the majority.
that you give love, honesty, selflessness, compassion and several other leadership qualities in abundance.
that you bestow on him discerning spirit so as to know the intent of those around him.

For my fellow countrymen, I pray;
that you drench us with heavy rain of love until we become a fountain thereof
that you make us ooze forgiveness in our every breath.
that you help us to respect and put in high esteem the very essence of our livelihood.
that you give us the grace to live among ourselves without strife and jealousy.
that you strengthen our cord of unity and oneness.
that you teach us to respect, support and cooperate with our leaders.
that you rebuke us when we err and go astray.
that you enable us do the right thing at the right time frame...

I'm assured of your continued care for Nigeria and for that I'm grateful.

God bless Federal republic of nigeria!!!
