Pakistan

Greetings in the name of Jesus!

My heart has been deeply burdened with all that has been happening in Pakistan this last week or so. If you are not aware the opposition leader Benazir Bhutto was killed on Thursday shortly after a campaign rally. There were reportedly shots fired. We know there was a suicide bomber and that the vehicle Benazir Bhutto was in was the target. There are different speculations, by different people on how she died, I’m not sure what the answer is, but it’s my conviction that we must support Pakistan and her people in prayer.

We believe that our God is a God of peace and that He gives divine peace. Specific areas to guide us in our prayers are:

Troops in Pakistan have been given authority to shoot on sight.

Pakistan is erupting with violence.

The husband, children and extended family of Benazir Bhutto as they grieve and mourn and could we also prayerfully remember all the Australian’s in Pakistan at the moment. I think Particularly of Major Geoff & Major Kalie Webb & their daughter, Kelsie. The Webb’s have only been there a few months upon their appointments at the Training College. The Foreign Affairs minister is strongly encouraging all Australian’s to come home, so for the Webb’s we pray for a safe journey home if they choose to return and if they choose to stay, we pray God’s protection over them at this time.

Pray that people would feel God at this time, that they would feel His comfort and peace and that God would not only physically heal people and heal their hearts, but that God would heal the land of Pakistan.

I'm confident that you're praying for Pakistan and her people!

O Lord, break our hearts with what breaks Yours. We pray that in the midst of all of this that people would be saved and come to know You. We pray for peace, dear Lord! Peace in our time, to ALL the people's peace. Your divine peace God, Peace, perfect peace! We're believing it AND desperately expecting it! Hallelujah! Amen.
