Father
in
Heaven,
today
we
come
before
You
with
hearts
full
of
hope
and
eyes
lifted
toward
the
horizon.
We
stand
as
one
people,
united
in
purpose,
on
behalf
of
our
beautiful
nation,
Zambia.
We
remember
Your
ancient
promise
in 2
Chronicles 7:14.
You
said, "
If
my
people
who
are
called
by
my
name
humble
themselves
and
pray,
and
seek
my
face
and
turn
from
their
wicked
ways,
then
I
will
hear
from
heaven,
and
I
will
forgive
their
sin
and
heal
their
land."
Lord,
today
we
choose
humility.
We
lay
down
our
pride,
our
divisions,
and
our
anxieties
at
Your
feet.
Oh,
let
the
healing
rain
fall
over
Zambia.
From
the
Copperbelt
to
the
capital,
from
the
valley
to
the
highlands.
We
seek
Your
face,
Lord.
We
ask
for
Your
wisdom
to
guide
our
leaders
and
Your
grace
to
sustain
our
families.
Heal
our
land,
Lord.
Restore
the
prosperity
of
our
soil
and
the
peace
within
our
borders.
We
are
Your
people,
and
we
are
calling
out
to
You
today.
We
stand
on
Psalm 33:12,
knowing
that
blessed
is
the
nation
whose
God
is
the
Lord.
We
claim
this
blessing
for
Zambia.
Let
righteousness
flow
like
a
mighty
river,
washing
away
the
shadows
of
despair.
We
pray
for
our
youth,
that
their
dreams
may
flourish.
We
pray
for
our
elders,
that
their
wisdom
may
be
honored.
We
ask
that
You
bless
the
work
of
our
hands,
the
fruit
of
our
labor,
and
the
unity
of
our
communities.
May
Zambia
be
a
beacon
of
hope
and
a
testimony
of
Your
unfailing
love.
Oh,
let
the
healing
rain
fall
over
Zambia.
From
the
Copperbelt
to
the
capital,
from
the
valley
to
the
highlands.
We
seek
Your
face,
Lord.
We
ask
for
Your
wisdom
to
guide
our
leaders
and
Your
grace
to
sustain
our
families.
Heal
our
land,
Lord.
Restore
the
prosperity
of
our
soil
and
the
peace
within
our
borders.
We
are
Your
people,
and
we
are
calling
out
to
You
today.
Lord,
we
ask
for
unity
that
transcends
all
boundaries.
Bring
us
together
in
love.
Let
every
home
be
a
sanctuary
of
peace.
Let
every
street
be
a
witness
to
Your
goodness.
We
are
not
forgotten;
we
are
seen
by
You.
We
are
not
forsaken;
we
are
held
by
You.
Zambia
belongs
to
You,
and
we
offer
this
land
back
into
Your
capable
hands.
As
we
look
forward,
we
walk
by
faith
and
not
by
sight.
We
trust
that
You
are
moving
even
when
we
cannot
see
it.
We
trust
that
You
are
working
even
when
the
way
seems
steep.
Our
hope
is
anchored
in
Your
promises,
which
never
fail.
May
the
spirit
of
peace
rest
upon
every
province,
and
may
the
joy
of
the
Lord
be
our
strength
as
we
move
into
this
new
season
of
growth
and
transformation.
Oh,
let
the
healing
rain
fall
over
Zambia.
From
the
Copperbelt
to
the
capital,
from
the
valley
to
the
highlands.
We
seek
Your
face,
Lord.
We
ask
for
Your
wisdom
to
guide
our
leaders
and
Your
grace
to
sustain
our
families.
Heal
our
land,
Lord.
Restore
the
prosperity
of
our
soil
and
the
peace
within
our
borders.
We
are
Your
people,
and
we
are
calling
out
to
You
today.
We
seal
this
prayer
in
faith.
We
believe
for
a
new
day.
May
Your
light
shine
upon
Zambia
forever.
Amen. (
