A Prayer for the Headlines for Monday, April 29th

Good Morning, God,

The headlines are international headlines that speak of atrocities of governments against their own people. In Syria, the suspicion is that some biological weapon was used. Incidentally, this theoretically crossed a "red line" that our government set before we would get involved. Give our leaders wisdom to know what to do.

In Egypt and other Islamic countries, Lord, we hear of atrocities against Christian believers perpetuated by some members of the Islamic faith. Lord, all the Christians are trying to do is worship you and show love to their neighbors in the name of Christ.

It is so unfortunate for your kingdom, Lord, that your desire for all nations, creeds, and religions be reconciled to Jesus. May your Holy Spirit's power be turned up so that more will receive your salvation.

This is enough heavy stuff for which we pray today, God. Please guide what we do this week. May it all bring glory and honor to you.

In Jesus's name, Amen.
