Prayers I have prayed while in Uganda:
Lord, please don’t let this bus tip over.
Please don’t let that lady with the live chicken in her hands sit next to me for the four hour taxi ride.
Please don’t let the car get stuck in this 3-foot deep mud hole.
Please don’t let me get schistosomiasis while swimming in the Nile.
Please don’t let me get aspiration pneumonia from Nile River water.
Thank You for hot water.
Thank You for food.
Thank You for bringing me here.
I pray that I might be of use to You and serve You today.
Please help me to be kind, compassionate, humble and patient today.
Please have mercy and don’t let this patient die.
I pray for those who have lost loved ones, that they might be surrounded by Your comfort and love, and filled with Your peace.
Thank You for the kindness and overwhelming generosity of Ugandans who have so little.
