World Prayers

- Pray for the Middle East. Regional tensions could reach a tipping point soon. Agreements between the United States and Iran remain unclear. Thursday night the US launched retaliating strikes against Iran after attacks were made on US Navy destroyers transiting the Strait of Hormuz. The US has sent Israel and other Middle East allies additional military supplies and Israel has strengthened its air squadrons. Pray for an end to this fighting, for righteous leadership

- Continue prayers for the United States and Iran. As sticking points remain, Iran’s supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, plans to safeguard its nuclear and missile capabilities as a national asset. Failure to sign a nonnuclear deal and Iran’s hardened stance against the United State brings a warning from President Trump of intensified military strikes. Iran threatens military strikes against US and Khamenei stated that American forces have no place in the Persian Gulf.
