Let us pray together
Our Father, we come to You together for the Faroe Islands. Give wisdom and unity to the new government and to all who lead these islands. Bless the families who live from the sea and keep them safe in every season. Renew faith in every village and church, and let Your love be known from island to island. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
