Pray for the people of Iraq.
If we use this administration’s definition of “children” under obamacare (up to 26 years old) then there are far more children being killed than you suspect.
Prayer for Iraq
O God, who art the unsearchable abyss of peace,
the ineffable sea of love, the fountain of blessings
and the bestower of affection,
who sendest peace to those that receive it;
Open to us this day the sea of thy love
and water us with plenteous streams
from the riches of thy grace
and from the most sweet springs of thy kindness.
Make us children of quietness and heirs of peace,
enkindle in us the fire of thy love;
sow in us thy fear;
strengthen our weakness by thy power;
bind us closely to thee and to each other
in our firm and indissoluble bond of unity:
Syrian Clementine Liturgy (in: For all God’s people; p. 73)
Litany for Iraq
For lasting peace in this ancient land – From you, O Lord.
For wisdom and compassion for all in authority – From you, O Lord.
For comfort for families separated or bereaved – From you, O Lord.
For the release of captives – From you, O Lord.
For safety and security for minority communities.
For refreshment for the weary and healing for the sick – From you, O Lord.
For continuing faithfulness of the ancient churches of this land – From you, O Lord.
For tenacity of spirit for small Christian groups – From you, O Lord.
For the mutual enrichment and support of those of different Christian traditions – From you, O Lord.
You, Lord of all, we confess;
You, Lord Jesus, we glorify;
For you are the life of our bodies
And you are the Saviour of our souls.
The response in the litany and this hymn both come from the Chaldean liturgy. The ancient hymn celebrates Christ the source of resurrection in all situations of death and deprivation. (in: With All God’s People, p. 21, 22)
From Anonymous:
Father God, Our Savior and King,
We come to You in despair over the evil being done to our Middle East Christian brothers and sisters. We ask that You would put Your hand of protection upon them and that You would sustain them as You did the Israelites in the desert. Lord, cause our brothers and sisters to cry out to You for help and show them the peace that only You can give in answer to their needs. In their darkest moments, Lord, keep them, strengthen them, and comfort them. When they despair that no one is coming to help them, Lord, reveal Your glory and restore their souls.
We ask you these things in the blessed name of Your precious son, Jesus Christ.
How I wish I hadn’t looked.
Will the Mighty Military of Obamanation use the fearsome strategy of:
* Pen and Phone;
* Whack-a-Mole;
* Surgical Strikes;
* Obamadrones; or
* Wait and see?

How much longer Lord? How much longer?
All at the feet of Obama and Hillary. We’d all better circulate these photos. This is devout Islam. These are the enemy. Sept. 11 isn’t over, not by a long shot.
For the Iraqis, it must be deja vu .... back to the days of Saddam & his sons
Revelation 20:4-6
the first resurrection
4 Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5 The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years.
Gruesome is right. Same as seeing pictures of the aborted. Since God sees all, no wonder He is angry at the world.
I’ve seen the picture of the little girl in the dress before. Some of these are old photos. It was some time ago.
The photo of the beheaded girl was from Syria in 2013. Not in Mosul Iraq in 2014. It was circulated by ISIS rebels as propaganda against the Syrian Army but some have alleged it was actually killings by the rebels and then used as propaganda to try and blame Syrian forces for the killings. Either way it is horrible but the who, what, where, and why are all very questionable.

NAsbU Revelation 20:4Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them,
and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who
had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because
of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or
his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on
their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
Are there any Iraqis, Christian or Muslim, willing to fight back or is it a cultural thing to simply surrender and be slaughtered?
Religion of Peace as proclaimed by George W Bush and Admired by Barack Hussein Obama
The photo of the little girl is actually a photo of a child beheaded in Syria!!!
Where are all the liberals? You know the one’s who protest Israel? Where are they now?
Great. Now I have a headache.
