Many are affected by&nbsp;corruption or&nbsp;violence&nbsp;in&nbsp;their countries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As peacebuilding Anabaptists, what do we do?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn such a time as this, we should pray. In private and as a community. Make our anger, frustration, lamentation,&nbsp;hope&nbsp;and anguish known to God,\u201d says&nbsp;Nindyo&nbsp;Sasongko. He is&nbsp;theologian-in-residence at&nbsp;Manhattan Mennonite Fellowship, USA,&nbsp;and&nbsp;a minister with&nbsp;Gereja&nbsp;Kristen&nbsp;Muria&nbsp;Indonesia (GKMI).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To&nbsp;him,&nbsp;such a time was&nbsp;late August&nbsp;2025. Widespread protests&nbsp;occurred&nbsp;in&nbsp;Indonesia when critics of&nbsp;steep tax rises&nbsp;were&nbsp;silenced. An incident&nbsp;where&nbsp;a&nbsp;police&nbsp;armoured vehicle&nbsp;struck&nbsp;and&nbsp;killed&nbsp;a motorcycle taxi driver in front of the protesting crowd&nbsp;raised anger.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe government\u2019s dismissive remarks&nbsp;about&nbsp;the voice of people&nbsp;who struggle to make ends meet, and&nbsp;their indifference to the&nbsp;death of an innocent man left me in emotional turmoil,\u201d&nbsp;Nindyo&nbsp;Sasongko&nbsp;says.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So&nbsp;on&nbsp;5&nbsp;September&nbsp;2025,&nbsp;Nindyo&nbsp;Sasongko&nbsp;read&nbsp;his&nbsp;prayer&nbsp;representing&nbsp;Christianity (one of six recognised religions in Indonesia) in front of&nbsp;the&nbsp;Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia in New York. The&nbsp;peaceful protest&nbsp;was&nbsp;witnessed&nbsp;by the&nbsp;General Consul&nbsp;Winanto&nbsp;Adi.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Note: this is&nbsp;an abbreviated&nbsp;version of the prayer)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"padding-top:0;padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-bottom:0;padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\">Tonight, we gather before&nbsp;You,&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>sincere in our plea&nbsp;<br>For the people of Indonesia.&nbsp;<br>United in one voice:&nbsp;<br>Not out of rebellion,&nbsp;<br>But because their groans can no longer be restrained.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\">We mourn!&nbsp;<br>No\u2014Let us be bold before you:&nbsp;<br>We are&nbsp;aggrieved!&nbsp;<br>Not with envy or spite,&nbsp;<br>But with a righteous fury born of anxiety,&nbsp;<br>And of love and hope as children of this land,&nbsp;<br>Wandering across foreign seas.&nbsp;<br>We ask: How much longer, O God?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\">Open the doors of your mercy,&nbsp;<br>That all caught in turmoil can see there are greater interests:&nbsp;<br>Not indifference, but kinship,&nbsp;<br>Not insensitivity, but compassion,&nbsp;<br>Not greed but hope for each of the nation\u2019s blood.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\">Open paths of reconciliation,&nbsp;<br>Such that each person may rebuild trust&nbsp;<br>torn apart by suspicion and strife.&nbsp;<br>Bind the wounds of this nation\u2014&nbsp;<br>the wounds of flesh from conflict,&nbsp;<br>emotional scars of loss,&nbsp;<br>and the deep, silent anger within.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\">May this pain be transformed&nbsp;<br>into the birth of a new era,&nbsp;<br>marked by justice, integrity,&nbsp;<br>and abiding peace for all the people of Indonesia.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\">O you whose steadfast love knows no end,&nbsp;<br>May the cries of the poor not go unheard,&nbsp;<br>May their suffering be eased,&nbsp;<br>And may their tomorrows be assured.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The prayer ended with a&nbsp;call&nbsp;for the current administration to&nbsp;return&nbsp;to&nbsp;the constitution,&nbsp;have the humility to hear the cries of the crowd, and lay the path to more justice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Persisting even when we do not see changes&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the wave of protests, unfortunately, nothing has changed&nbsp;in Indonesia.&nbsp;Half a year&nbsp;after the protests, things seem to have become worse.&nbsp;So why pray&nbsp;for the nations?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBecause prayer changes us first. It softens our hearts, reshaping our desires and binding us to the sacred trust\u00a0to the Lord and the community\u00a0around\u00a0us,\u201d Nindyo\u00a0Sasongko<br>explains.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI believe in a God who actively chooses solidarity with the vulnerable and protects the widows and orphans,&#8221; says&nbsp;Nindyo&nbsp;Sasongko. &#8220;Jesus taught peace and non-violence not just as concepts, but as a way of life. I remain convinced that non-violence is the most potent weapon for dismantling societal inequality.&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSecondly, my optimism is fuelled by a generation of young people&nbsp;[in diaspora] who&nbsp;possess&nbsp;a profound concern for Indonesia. In their critical eyes and in their demand for truth, I see the hand of God&nbsp;\u2013&nbsp;the God of&nbsp;peace&nbsp;\u2013&nbsp;working behind the scenes to restore Indonesia.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;In this truth, I find courage and optimism to face the challenges ahead. My hope is that more believers join hands in prayer,\u201d says&nbsp;Nindyo&nbsp;Sasongko.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MWC facilitates communal prayer for nations and churches through its bimonthly&nbsp;prayer network e-mail&nbsp;and&nbsp;Online Prayer Hour.&nbsp;Join us.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/en\/prayers\/online-prayer-hour\/\">Online prayer hour<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"taxonomy-post_tag has-link-color wp-elements-4795dccc25dd561b10d5c166c095ced0 wp-block-post-terms has-text-color has-gray-color has-small-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/en\/stories\/tag\/indonesia\/\" rel=\"tag\">indonesia<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/en\/stories\/tag\/prayer\/\" rel=\"tag\">prayer<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/en\/stories\/tag\/prayer-action\/\" rel=\"tag\">prayer &amp; action<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mwc-cmm.org\/en\/stories\/tag\/solidarity\/\" rel=\"tag\">solidarity<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taking action&nbsp;in solidarity&nbsp; There are many reasons to be frustrated over worsening political tensions in the world.&nbsp;Mennonite World Conference member churches in each continental&nbsp;region are calling for prayer and solidarity.
