As the Ubuntu eXplorers group strives to promote contact, partnership and mutual understanding with Christians in China, here's a prayer that can be used asking God to bless China and its people.
God bless China
its cities, towns and countryside:
with fertility for the land
clean air to breathe
a stable, just economy
fair shares for all
respect for differences
support of the weak.
Grant to the young, mature and old alike:
healthy bodies
lively minds
safe living and working conditions
freedom to question, change and grow.
Bless the authorities with wisdom:
officials with gentle sensitivity
the church with confidence and joy
the people with happiness and love.
With peace, friendship and co-operation
at home and abroad:
God, bless China!
