Lord, I ask that You help our people bring the terrorist Zarqawi to justice. He has placed himself at this time as the focal point of Islamic militarism, and in making his ultimate appeal to Islamic clerics he would explicitly turn this war into a religous confrontation. It therefore is imperative that the world be shown that he does not have Your favor. May righteousness prevail, and may You vindicate Your name.
This might not be bin Laden's time to be called to justice, OTOH. It might be best for the world to to see him continue to fall into impotence and irrelevance, and to let him see the fruit of his poisonous labors rot before his own eyes, before apprehending him, his cause totally lost.
Yet without exception, I would pray for the souls of all men. For what benefit is there in the demise of the lost? No matter their errors or ignorance, may they find repentance, even if they must answer for their deeds.
May all things be done according to Your glorious wisdom, dividing between mercy and judgment, and according to Your exquisite timing. Thank You for all Your blessings toward us, most especially the peace with God we have through Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord. Revive us, O Lord, that we would walk worthy of our calling, that souls and lives would be saved and restored.
Wonderful prayer, Paul! Amen and thank you!
