I can’t help thinking about the terrible suffering in Syria, Yemen and other places where the innocent are being slaughtered, where hospitals and aid workers are being targeted, and the Christians are being persecuted and killed. How much harder it is to hold on to hope when the churches and friends are being attacked and killed.
Praying may not seem much but it does say it is ‘powerful and effective’, and we must take every opportunity of the freedom we have to bring about the kingdom of God.
