Lord, it can feel so overwhelming to pray about evil groups like ISIS. Our prayers feel so small against such an ugly force. Yet the battle in the heavenlies is unseen (Ephesians 6:10-18), and we do play a part, even though we do not always know the power of our words (Daniel 10). And you are so much bigger and stronger than ISIS. Today, we pray for 1st Lt. Mu'ath al-Kaseasbeh, who is being held by the Islamic State group in Syria. Lord, reveal yourself to him. We ask you to protect him and move his captors to release him, acknowledging that we pray with only a mustard seed of faith (Matthew 17:20). Somehow, Lord, glorify yourself in this situation. We trust you, even in the face of evil in the world. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
