Prayer for Sri Lanka

I really enjoyed the prayer written by Christian Aid in light of Easter for Sri Lanka

Pray for Sri Lanka this Easter Sunday.

Risen glorious king,
Healer of nations,
Heal Sri Lanka.
Raise up the poor, protect the vulnerable and restore to safety all who have fled in fear.
Give your peace to the people; your wisdom to the government; and your mercy to rebel and army soldiers alike.
As we celebrate your resurrection life, and your conquering of death,
May there be an end to the suffering and violence that threaten precious lives in Sri Lanka.
We ask these things because of all you suffered, crucified Lord.
We dare to hope for peace, because of your great love.
Risen, glorious king,
Healer of nations,
Hear our prayer for Sri Lanka.

Amen.
