Circle of Prayer for Iraq

Today I stand in prayer with the people of Iraq. Nearly 500,000 Iraqi's are committed to stand together today, celebrating joint prayers with one another. Sunnis with Shiia, together to pray to God, in efforts to unify. And to refuse to engage in a the gathering religious civil war clouds rising from the ashes of terrorist attacks against Muslim holy shrines and people this week. This religious targeting is meant to divide that nation of their fledgling freedom by those whose agendas lie in chaos.

I stand with you, Iraq. My heart is with yours as you stand in prayers together today. I pray that your resolve to live in peace and unity with one another supplants the violent attempts to divide you. Regardless of political and philosophical differences, that you are standing against the attempts to use GOD to divide you and are showing the world the incredibly strong content of your character propels me into prayer and celebration.

May peace prevail.

No one seems to take much of an interest in this. Odd, isn't it, that when the going gets tough some of us just don't have the time.

OTOH, there is a great deal to pray for in today's world...I suppose there always has been.

Bless you lachen, and keep smiling through.
