Pray for Syrian Christians

I just received a post about the beheading of a Syrian Catholic priest by the rebels in Syria. Pray for these precious Catholics and other believers as they face the unthinkable. http://cnsnews.com/news/article/reported-beheading-syrian-priest-boosts-fear-christians-safety

“God is to us a God of deliverances. To God the Lord belong escapes from death” (Psalm 68:20). Father, we pray for protection for the Christians of Syria. Grant them signs and wonders and miraculous escapes from death. May their enemies see Your hand on the behalf of Your people and be thwarted. As it is written, Lord, “…By their own devices let them fall!”*  Watch over those called by Your name, Father, throughout the earth and not only defend them, but also thoroughly route and terrify those who would seek to assault them. In Jesus’ name, AMEN!

*See Psalm 5:10
