"Lord, we have no idea why so many are being permitted to die, being beaten, burned, and raped. We lift up those who are still alive, those who have lost homes and businesses in mass attacks, those who are blinded and unable to secure medical attention. We bless you for strengthening these men and women around Northern, Western, and Eastern Africa, and across the Middle East and Asia. Their names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life. Touch our hearts that we might be sensitive to the needs of others, less burdened with our own problems. Help us to find ways to bring comfort to Christians in the lands where hundreds have recently lost their lives for the sake of Your Name. And we bless you, Lord, for bringing this suffering and pain to our attention. Amen."
