Hungry Hearts

Last month, Islamic State militants clashed with Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces over a prison in northeast Syria holding more than 3,000 suspected IS militants. Now today, US special forces raided a village in northwest Syria in a counter-terrorism mission.

Syria is #15 on Open Doors’ World Watchlist of most dangerous countries for Christians. The Christian population of Syria has diminished dramatically and many church buildings have been destroyed after more than a decade of civil war. But the violence has also brought about a hunger for Truth, and more and more Syrians from Muslim backgrounds are converting to Christianity.

Lord, we ask You for a Great Awakening to You all across Syria and beyond. Lift the veil from the eyes of the lost so they will see You as You truly are. Show Yourself strong on behalf of the persecuted and abandoned. Protect the innocent. Shield those who seek You or already believe in You. Perform signs and wonders, miracles and healings as powerful demonstrations of Your love, turning all eyes to You. Get up in the face of every militant and confront them with Truth. Bring them to their knees before You in fear of the Lord, so they lay down their weapons, repent of atrocities committed, and choose You as Savior. Give Christians courage and Your Spirit’s empowering to share Your Good News with those who are hungry for You in a way they can easily understand, and increase that hunger all throughout the nation and among refugees in other nations, drawing thousands of lost Syrians to find true refuge in the arms of the One True King and Savior. Take what the enemy has meant for evil and turn it around into a mighty movement of Muslims coming to faith in Christ. Awaken the lost to Your love, O God. Awaken all Syrians to You.
