Prayers for Venezuela
Join us in prayer for all the children and families affected by the earthquake.
Two devastating earthquakes struck Venezuela on 24 June, compounding an already severe humanitarian crisis. Thousands of people have been affected - families have lost loved ones, homes have been destroyed, and many remain missing as search and rescue efforts continue. Children are among the most vulnerable.
World Vision has been working in Venezuela since 2019 and remains here now, assessing the full scale of the disaster and preparing to respond. You can donate to our urgent appeal here.
In this critical moment, please stand with us in prayer for the children and families affected.
Pray with us for Venezuela
For those who have lost loved ones
Heavenly Father,
we lift up all those grieving in the aftermath of the earthquakes in Venezuela.
For those who have lost family and friends,
and for those still waiting anxiously for news,
bring comfort and strength.
In their pain and uncertainty, be their refuge.
Surround them with Your love and support,
and may they know the peace that only You can give
For children facing fear and trauma
Lord,
we lift up the children affected by this disaster.
Many are frightened and unsure of what lies ahead.
Some have been separated from those they love,
others are overwhelmed by fear and uncertainty.
Bring them Your peace.
Keep them safe, warm and protected,
and place caring people around them
who will comfort and reassure them.
For those who have lost homes
God our refuge,
we pray for all who have lost their homes
or have been forced to flee to safety.
In the midst of chaos and uncertainty,
provide shelter, protection and daily provision.
Bring reassurance to those who feel vulnerable,
and restore hope for the days ahead.
For those responding with aid and rescue
Lord God,
we thank You for the courage of rescue workers, medical teams,
and all those already responding.
Strengthen them as they search for survivors
and care for the injured.
Give them endurance, compassion and wisdom.
Provide the resources they need,
remove barriers to aid,
and guide them to those most in need.
For the world’s response
God of justice and compassion,
we pray for leaders and nations around the world
as they respond to this crisis.
Stir generosity, unity and urgency,
so that help reaches every family affected
and no one is left behind.
Amen.
“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.”
(Psalm 46:1 NIV)
