Lord, today we pray for Beirut, Lebanon. This bustling city
was recently shaken by its worst terrorist attack in decades. Lord, we grieve
for the 45 lives lost. We grieve with the wives, husbands, parents, children…
the many people whose hearts are shattered after losing their loved ones in
such a heinous way. Lord, we are thankful for Adel Termos’ heroic actions in
tackling the second suicide bomber in order to minimize the damage. May his
wife, daughter and son remember their father as a hero. Bring them comfort. Bring
the entire city and nation comfort—not only from the loss of life but also to
those who feel the world has neglected them. Lord, shine your light in the
midst of this dark time. May your children in Beirut find opportunities to
share the hope found in you. Reveal yourself within the city of Beirut today,
we pray. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
