Lord, we remember our Iraqi brothers and sisters who were displaced by ISIS. We continue to grieve with them. Today we specifically pray for Mar Elia Chaldean Catholic Church’s center for displaced Iraqi Christian families. Lord, thank you for Father Daniel Alkhory and those who work with him to meet the needs of these families, most notably the children. Please grant these servant-leaders protection and success as they educate, comfort, and provide shelter to hundreds of families. Give them wisdom as they seek to model Christlikeness and help children understand how and why to forgive their enemies. Create a sense of community and hope in this place. And bring the tremendous healing that needs to occur in the hearts and minds of these hurting ones. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
