Lord, a new day begins and we learn of more atrocities. We
thank you that our citizenship is in heaven, rather than in this broken world. Lord,
we are devastated by the hundreds murdered by ISIS in eastern Syria yesterday—mostly
women, children and elderly people. We are disgusted by any group that would
think this is acceptable. We pray against the evil plots of ISIS, Lord. We ask
you to block their efforts at every turn. To frustrate their mission and
vision. To open the eyes of individuals within the group to the wickedness of
what their leaders ask them to do. Lord, comfort the grieving even as they fear
for their own safety. Sustain those who have lived for so long under siege in
that part of the country. Give helpers great creativity and courage as they
seek to rescue and/or meet the basic needs of those who live in ISIS’ shadow of
terror. In Jesus’ powerful name, we pray, amen.
