Lord, today we pray for the city of Aleppo, Syria. The people of Aleppo are so deeply weary after years of war. They are tired of living in fear. And they are angry about the death and destruction around them every day. Now their hospital has been bombed and innocent civilians, including children and international aid workers, have been killed. Lord, shore up the people’s courage. Grant peace to their hearts. Bring out the best in their character, rather than the worst, as they face the ugliness of sin and war. Lord, make yourself known to the people of Aleppo—through fellow citizens, through international aid workers, through your Word, and through people’s help, including prayer support. Lord, please come to the aid of the citizens of Aleppo. We are thankful we can call on you. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
