Lord in heaven, Sovereign of all Creation, please look down upon Your suffering people in South Africa, being torn apart by the wicked apostles of hatred. Those who have sinned, beg Your mercy and forgiveness. Those who still sin, ignore Your precepts and disobey Your loving guidance. In the times of the Prophets and Judges, You spared Your people by intervention, when no mortal arm could avail. Please, Thou Lord, we invoke Your aid and comfort, that You impose a curtailment on their cruelty and destruction, bringing the sinners to the brink of their despair, and saving the lives and souls of those who obey You. In Jesus' name, we pray.
