My heart breaks as I watch the news and see so much horror in our world today. God’s heart must be breaking too as He watches the suffering of so many. He loves ALL people so much that He gave His One and Only Son to save us and bring us back to a right relationship with Him. The pain and loss in our world transcends nationality, ethnicity, race and religion and cries out to us on a very basic level of our humanity. Who doesn’t feel compassion for those who are so traumatized by war and terror that they can only cry uncontrollably even when rescued? Seeing the faces of brokenness and suffering on my tv screen reminds me of the journey of many refugees we love and serve through Asha’s Refuge. When I ask what happened, they often share stories of homes overrun by terrorists who kill and burn everyone and everything in sight. Families grab their children and run for their very lives. This is how the journey began for many people we serve and the many horrors they’ve endured along the way mostly remain unspoken. Please join me in praying for all people enduring this terrible suffering today that God of the Angel Armies will show His mighty love and power to rescue those in distress. May He turn this terrible suffering to joy by bringing many to salvation in Jesus. “Save them, Oh God, by Your Name and vindicate them by Your Power. Hear our prayer, Oh God; Give ear to the words of our mouths.” Psalms 54:1-2.
