Pray with the global church

Shepherd, we call out for the city of Aleppo and the region of al-Eis where recent explosions have left destruction and injury in their wake. You see every wound and hear every cry; let Your healing presence descend on those who are hurting. Guard civilians seeking refuge from the chaos, and still their fears with Your peace that passes understanding. Restrain violence and reveal Your Son to soldiers who wage war and to leaders who issue commands. May Your rod and staff comfort those who walk through the valley of shadows in this land. Shine light into darkened hearts so they may know the hope found in Christ alone. For Your name's sake, watch over Aleppo. Amen.
