Precious Heavenly Father, As we read the accounts of the unfolding victory in Fajullah, we are humbled and awed at Your mighty power, for this speedy victory belongs to You! Thank you Father that there have been a relatively small number of casualties so far. Please comfort the families of those who were lost, and let each and every family touched by this battle also know the wonder of your awesome grace and salvation.
Father we think of your persecuted church also, as many of us gather with our local bodies to pray this day for that cause. How blessed we are to live in a place where we may still gather, still openly speak Your Word, without fear for our lives. Many of our bothers and sisters do not enjoy this privledge, but instead must suffer intensely for their testimony. These, Lord we bring before you and ask for Your grace, love and mercy to be poured out on them as they do the task you have set before them. May their faith never waiver Lord. And even some day, if we are called to suffer as they do, let us also count it all joy. May our faith never waiver. May we be faithful in prayer for them.
Lord, please bless and protect our beloved President and his family this day. Let his worship be in Spirit and Truth. Give him grace and courage each day to do Your will.
"God is our refuge and our strength, a very present help in trouble, therefore we will not fear..." Ps46
Amen to your prayer! Thank you for sharing it with us, fleabitgray. May God bless you.
