Heavenly Father, today we pray for Iraqi Christians. The
world has watched as hundreds of thousands of Iraqi Christians have fled their
homes or died for their faith over the past decade. A nation where Christians have lived for
thousands of years is wiping out its Christian population, in large part due to
ISIS and other Islamic oppressors. Lord, just thinking about ISIS deflates our
spirits. What an evil, destructive organization! Lord, impede them on every
side. We specifically ask that their work in Iraq weaken and fade away. Please
take radical measures to remove the blinders from members’ eyes, so they
realize that they are not experiencing power, but embodying evil and leaving
marks on history that will bring great shame forever. Convict them to cease
their wicked ways. And, Lord, please sustain your remnant in Iraq. Be their
shield and rear guard. Feed them from your Word AND make sure they get enough
food. May they build lives through which they can serve and love and represent
you well, despite the persecution they face. In Jesus’ merciful name we pray,
amen.
