Lord protect the honour of your name

The nations around Iraq, Syria, Libya, Sudan, Yemen, Gaza and so many other places look at see the dominance of this extreme form of Islam and the apparent destruction of Christians, the Church and other minorities. It seems that the enemies of the Living God are winning. His enemies see him as powerless.

Here are truths that we need to affirm in prayer:

• I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it
• I am God and I will give my glory to no other
• Psalm 79 – O God the nations have invaded your inheritance
• Help us, O God our Saviour, for the glory of your name
• May the groans of the prisoners come before you
• On this mountain the Lord Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all peoples
• How long, O Lord, must I call for help
• Why do you make me look at injustice? Why do you tolerate wrong
• I will stand at my watch
