PRAYERS IN POST-ELECTION KENYA

I AM LEARNING that spiritual thinking is the only true solution for political, social, and economic crises facing citizens of a nation at any time.

I live in Kenya, and in the past few weeks, we've witnessed the worst post-election violence since we gained formal independence many decades ago. The violence that erupted in different parts of the country after the announcement of the recent presidential election resulted in displacement of about 200,000 people and, at the time of this writing, approximately 500 dead, a figure that continues to grow at an alarming rate.

The European Union election observers revealed in their report that the election in Kenya was not free and fair. As I thank God that the political crisis did not degenerate into genocide, I pray to forgive any acts of omission or commission by the officers who conducted the elections.
