Heavenly Father,


We seek your guidance and wisdom as the M23 and the DRC Government come together in negotiation. We ask that you bless this gathering with clarity of purpose, sincerity of heart, and an openness to understanding one another’s perspectives.


May the leaders involved be filled with the spirit of compassion and diplomacy, allowing them to navigate these discussions with integrity and mutual respect. Help them to listen deeply and find common ground, so that they may forge a path towards lasting peace.


We pray for the courage to confront difficult truths, the humility to acknowledge past grievances, and the hope to envision a brighter future for all involved. Let patience reign in their hearts, and may their efforts pave the way for healing and reconciliation within the communities affected.


To all those impacted by the conflict, we pray for comfort, support, and strength during this challenging time. May the outcomes of these negotiations bring about a future where peace prevails, and prosperity is shared by all.


In your name, we pray.


Amen.
