A prayer for the innocent—meaning everyone—in Darfur
Originally appeared on spirituality.com
More than a thousand individuals, houses of worship, and faith-based organizations throughout the United States are expected to participate in a “Weekend of Prayer for Darfur” from December 8 to 10, 2006.
This initiative, led by the Save Darfur Coalition, is part of a continuing response to the horrific situation in this area of the Sudan, where millions of people are displaced or have been affected by mass genocide.
Worthy efforts like the weekend of faith-based action show that prayer is as much a component of solving world problems as raising money for the victims or arousing public outcry. In my own life, I've found that prayer is not an empty response to a challenge, but one that aligns my thought to God.
