Praying for Daily Bread and Meaning It
- by Samuel Enosa Peni, Bishop of Yambio, graduate of Wartburg Seminary in Dubuque, Iowa, addressing on March 20th conference of the Global Episcopal Mission Network. More at https://www.gemn.org/2024-conference/
“When we in South Sudan pray ‘Give us today our daily bread’, many of us do not know where we will find food that day. We have seen prayers answered, so when we pray, we mean what we say to God. We have received and believe the Good News of Christ’s death for us and his Resurrection to bring us life eternal. We have seen the power of God to heal us from illness. We have seen feuding communities confess their aggressions and be reconciled. Teams from our Board for Justice, Peace and Reconciliation have intervened in many locations in 2023 and 2024.”
