Humanitarian aid workers around the world provide life-saving support for people in nations affected by war, famine, poverty, natural disasters. In these current days all of those problems are exacerbated by the global pandemic of coronavirus. August 19th has been declared World Humanitarian Day by the United Nations. A day to commemorates humanitarian workers killed and injured in the course of their work and honour those who diligently seek to help those in need despite the dangers to themselves. Let's give thanks to these real life heroes!!
Almighty God, Creator of the world and the nations. we pray for all those near and far who are suffering in the face of conflict, disaster and this current global pandemic. We give thanks for all the men and women who are willing to sacrifice their own safety and comfort in order to heal the sick, feed the hungry and comfort the lost and the bereaved. We pray especially for all those working tirelessly to fight Covid-19. Help us, Sovereign Lord, to never take for granted all that we have. Amen
