It’s hard to know what to hope for in the Syria situation. Like most of America, I’m not convinced military intervention there is a good idea. But on the other hand, I feel like the nation I love will be humiliated if we do nothing. Our President has been out there promising the world that we’re going to take action. If that threat comes to zero, what will our enemies in the world think? Will they then believe it’s OK to attack America however they want?
Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. — 1 Timothy 2:1-2
Lord, please help President Obama, and Harry Reid, and John Boehner, and all the members of Congress. Please strengthen them to bear the burden of this decision. Please make it clear to all of them how much you love them.
Lord, I pray that the knowledge of your love will give our leaders a hunger to know you, and that when they go seeking more knowledge of you that you will in return draw near to them. Please make it easy for them to know your will about Syria Lord. Please make your will so clear that no one has any doubt what you want.
Please take care of America, and do good things for us Lord.
