Prayer: Middle East Conflict

Father God,
Nothing is hidden from Your eyes. You see the present trials of Your beloved people who live in this present evil age, yet You view all within the context of eternity. In perfect wisdom and enduring faithfulness, You uphold and strengthen Your people in the Lord to endure. Your peace surpasses all understanding. Your grace is abounding and glorious. And Your eternal power and purposes cannot be thwarted. You are the shade on the right hand of Your sons and daughters, and You are the Rock that cannot be shaken. You intervene in power, and every glimpse of Your glory and tender compassion refreshes the hearts of all who take refuge in You. Thank You for the work that You are accomplishing in Syria in the midst of great oppression. Thank You for all whom You are turning to Jesus that they may be sanctified by faith in Him and receive the gift of eternal life in Your kingdom of glory. May You fan the flames of the Spirit’s power and gifts in Christ’s servants and give them boldness and courage to stand firm in the grace, love, and truth of Jesus. May You take captive all panic and fear, and may you grant courage to Your beloved in the midst of their suffering and trials. May they pray without ceasing and believe without wavering. May You gather Your own to rest in Your secure refuge, and may You give them a song of praise in their hearts to keep their minds, hearts, and eyes focused on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of their faith. Father, may You cause the Iron Dome in Israel to effectively intercept attacks on Israeli citizens, and may You grant wisdom to the Israeli leaders to act in the best interests of Your people in Your perfect time and strength. May You shield Your people who trust in You and may Your glory be revealed in their midst. May Your glory and the glory of Christ be revealed in the midst of all of the events taking place in the Middle East, and may many turn to You in hope and be sanctified by faith in Jesus. Your blessing be upon Your people who earnestly seek You, who are beloved in You and kept for Jesus.
In Jesus’ Name I pray,
Amen.
