Pray for Syria that have been torn apart in conflict for more than two years now. Many people have been killed and many have become refugees who are in Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey and Iraq.
Bloodshed defiles the land. The enemy does this so that the land is repellent to the Lord’s purposes of what He wants to achieve in this season. Pray that his plans in Syria shall be thwarted and that the purposes of the Lord will be fulfilled in the nation and the Middle East region.
Pray for the millions of Syrian children who have become orphans and many who are now the bread winners for their families.
Pray for the protection of the Syrian refugees especially during this winter period.
Pray for the Syrian believers that God will keep them and they will not bow in spite of their situation.
Pray for Aid workers working among the refugees that God will protect them and provide for them.
Scripture: Mark 10:37
It is very interesting that despite the enormity of the request, Jesus did not say no. He instead focused on the preparational price tag of the request. If we could hear the preparational price tag for what the Lord has for us in the generation in which we live, I suspect our Christianity would be far different in every dimension. If we would say yes, we could be preparing to shoulder the full measure of what God has ordained for the church and the Judicial Christ would be manifesting. James and John asked for something great! They asked for the largest thing they could imagine. It seems to me that Jesus honored that request by focusing on the price rather than responding with an outright no. If we were prepared for the full measure of what God wanted to do in this season, what would our Christian walk look like? Would the Judge be walking among us?
