Prayer for Croatia

For the last several mornings, I've been going back and praying for European countries that I missed during part of our trip to the mid-west. Below is a prayer for Croatia. You can check out some prayer requests for this historically troubled and chaotic region of Europe here. Also, visit the BBC country profile for a brief synopsis of relatively recent events in Croatia. (As always, please feel free to offer a prayer in the comments section.)

P R A Y E R:
Father of all nations and Creator of every race, we pray for this war-torn region of Europe. We thank you that peace is slowly infiltrating Croatian life after years of violence, ethnic cleansing, and bitter hatred. We’re grateful to you for raising up your people to provide aid and trauma therapy for those who have suffered and we pray that this ministry will continue to build credibility for your Church in Croatian society. We boldly request that you raise up and use Christ-followers of all segments of Croatian society – the Serb, the Croatian, the Bosnian, the Albanian – to speak supernatural love and reconciliation into the villages, towns, and cities across that land. Cause Your Church to address the unique challenges of Croatian society in ways that bring hope and that demonstrate Your Kingdom, bringing scores of Croatian people into intimate, life-giving, fruitful relationship with You.
