Ringkasan doa bagi Latvia
Terakhir diperbarui Oktober 2026. Fakta diambil dari sumber-sumber yang tercantum di bawah.
Peristiwa terkini
Latvians voted for a new parliament on 3 October. The United List of Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs won the most seats of any party since independence in 1991, and turnout was about 52%, lower than in 2022. President Edgars Rinkēvičs has begun talks with the six parties that won seats about forming a new government.
Kami berdoa bagi: Pertolongan segera, keselamatan, dan bantuan mendesak.
Kepemimpinan dan politik
Latvia is a parliamentary republic. The President is Edgars Rinkēvičs and the Prime Minister is Andris Kulbergs, a businessman who took office in May 2026 and is expected to lead the next coalition. He has promised less bureaucracy, lower public spending, continued support for Ukraine and defence spending of 5% of GDP.
Kami berdoa bagi: Hikmat, integritas, dan keadilan bagi para pemegang kekuasaan.
Kesehatan ekonomi
Latvia's economy has grown more slowly than its Baltic neighbours for more than a decade. Growth was about 2.1% in 2025 and is expected to be about 1.4% in 2026, as higher energy prices slow things down. Inflation is about 3.5% to 4% and unemployment is about 7%, so many families feel the cost of living.
Kami berdoa bagi: Pemeliharaan bagi keluarga-keluarga dan pengelolaan yang jujur.
Masalah sosial dan budaya
Latvia has a large ethnic Russian minority. Reports say some oppose the war in Ukraine while others feel that some policies are unfair to them, and cost of living worries are strong among Russian speakers. Building trust between communities is a real need.
Kami berdoa bagi: Rekonsiliasi, damai, dan perlindungan bagi mereka yang rentan.
Keadaan rohani
The US State Department reports that about 38% of people are Lutheran, about 18% Catholic and about 14% Latvian Orthodox, mostly Russian speakers, with about 29% having no religious affiliation (figures reported in 2023). Baptists, Pentecostals, Adventists and Old Believers are also present, and there is a Jewish community of about 7,400 people.
Kami berdoa bagi: Kebangunan rohani, pengharapan, dan tersebarnya kebenaran.
Kebebasan beragama
The constitution guarantees freedom of religion and separates church and state. Eight traditional groups, including Lutherans, Catholics, Orthodox, Old Believers, Baptists, Methodists, Adventists and Jews, have extra rights. A 2022 law made the Latvian Orthodox Church independent of any church outside the country. Jehovah's Witnesses have faced investigation and object to the terms of alternative service.
Kami berdoa bagi: Perlindungan bagi orang percaya dan kebebasan untuk beribadah dengan aman.
Luka sejarah
Latvia was annexed by the Soviet Union during World War II. In June 1941 more than 15,000 people were deported to Siberia, and a larger wave followed in 1949, and President Rinkēvičs has said four in ten deportees died in exile. About 70,000 Latvian Jews were killed in the Holocaust, including at Rumbula Forest.
Kami berdoa bagi: Kesembuhan bangsa, terputusnya lingkaran lama, dan pengampunan yang mendalam.
Mari kita berdoa bersama
Our Father, we come to You together for Latvia. Guide the forming of a new government, and keep the nation calm and safe. Give wisdom, integrity and justice to President Rinkēvičs, Prime Minister Kulbergs and every new member of parliament. Provide for families who feel the cost of living, and give honest stewardship of the nation's resources. Bring Latvians and Russian speakers together in trust, and protect the poor and the elderly. Let the hope of Jesus come alive in every congregation and home. Keep every believer free and safe to worship. Heal the wounds of deportation and the Holocaust, and lead Latvia in forgiveness. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
